Reciprocal Signaling by Integrin and Nonintegrin Receptors during Collagen Activation of Platelets
29 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Activation of platelets by exposed collagen after vessel wall injury is a primary event in the pathogenesis of stroke and myocardial infarction. Two collagen receptors, integrin alpha2beta1 and glycoprotein VI (GPVI), are expressed at similar levels on human and mouse platelets, but their individual roles during collagen activation remain poorly defined. Recent genetic and pharmacologic experiments have revealed...
