Abstract excerpt
Activation-dependent platelet granule release is mediated by integral membrane proteins called soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) and their regulators; however, the mechanisms for this process are ill-defined. To further characterize platelet secretion, we analyzed the function of platelets from Unc13d(Jinx) mice. Platelets from these animals lack the putative...
