Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2), a member of the DOCK family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors that specifically act on the Rho GTPases including Rac and Cdc42, plays pivotal roles in the regulation of leukocyte homeostasis. However, its functions in platelets remain unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using mice with genetic deficiency of DOCK2 (Dock2-/-), we showed that Dock2-/- mice exhibited a...
