Abstract excerpt
Bidirectional signaling is an essential feature of alphaIIbbeta3 function. The alphaIIb cytoplasmic domain negatively regulates beta3-mediated inside-out signaling, but little is known about the regulation of alphaIIb-mediated outside-in signaling. We show that alphaIIb-mediated outside-in signaling is enhanced in platelets of a patient lacking the terminal 39 residues of the beta3 cytoplasmic tail. This enhanced...
