Abstract excerpt
Platelet aggregation requires activation of the alphaIIbbeta3 integrin, an event regulated by the integrin cytoplasmic tails. CIB1 binds to the cytoplasmic tail of the integrin alphaIIb subunit. Previous over-expression and knockdown studies in murine megakaryocytes demonstrated that CIB1 inhibits integrin alphaIIbbeta3 activation. Here we analyzed Cib1(-/-) mice to determine the function of CIB1 in platelets in...
