Abstract excerpt
The physiologic roles of the class II phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) and their contributions to phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI3P) and PI(3,4)P2 production remain elusive. Here we report that mice heterozygous for a constitutively kinase-dead PI3K-C2α display aberrant platelet morphology with an elevated number of barbell-shaped proplatelets, a recently discovered intermediate stage in the final...
