Abstract excerpt
Platelets are essential for normal hemostasis, but close regulation is required to avoid the destructive effects of either inappropriate platelet activation or excessive responses to injury. Here, we describe a novel complex comprising the scaffold protein, spinophilin (SPL), and the tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-1, and show that it can modulate platelet activation by sequestering RGS10 and RGS18, 2 members of the...
