Abstract excerpt
von-Willebrand factor (vWF) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) are products of endothelial cells acutely released into the vasculature following cell activation. Both factors are secreted after intraendothelial Ca2+ mobilization, but exhibit opposing physiological effects with vWF inducing coagulation and tPA triggering fibrinolysis. To identify components that could regulate differentially the release...
