These then bind their respective receptors on platelet surfaces, in both an autocrine and paracrine fashion (binds both itself and other platelets). The binding of these receptors result in a cascade of events resulting in an increase in intracellular calcium (e.g. via G q receptor activation leading to Ca 2+ release from platelet endoplasmic ...
Thromboxane A 2 (TXA 2) is a type of thromboxane that is produced by activated platelets during hemostasis and has prothrombotic properties: it stimulates activation of new platelets as well as increases platelet aggregation.
The IIb / IIIa complex is a major platelet membrane component. There are as many as 50 000 copies. The α IIb (GPIIb) is composed of two subunits linked by disulfide bridges. The β 3 (GPIIIa) forms a single polypeptide chain. These subunits form Ca 2+ - dependent complex on the surface of platelet membrane in a 1:1 ratio.
Activated platelets contract their internal actin and myosin fibrils in their cytoskeleton, which leads to shrinkage of the clot volume. Plasminogen activators , such as tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), activate plasminogen into plasmin, which promotes lysis of the fibrin clot; this restores the flow of blood in the damaged/obstructed blood ...
Platelet plug formation: Platelets adhere to damaged endothelium to form a platelet plug (primary hemostasis) and then degranulate. This process is regulated through thromboregulation. Plug formation is activated by a glycoprotein called von Willebrand factor (vWF), which is found in plasma. Platelets play one of major roles in the hemostatic ...
Myosin-9 also known as myosin, heavy chain 9, non-muscle or non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIa (NMMHC-IIA) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MYH9 gene. [5] [6]Non-muscle myosin IIA (NM IIA) is expressed in most cells and tissues where it participates in a variety of processes requiring contractile force, such as cytokinesis, cell migration, polarization and adhesion, maintenance of ...
ROCK is a kinase that acts to phosphorylate MLCP (myosin-light-chain phosphatase), as well as the NMMII light chain, which inactivates MLCP and activates myosin. [6] This will lead to the accumulation of activated myosin motor proteins, which bind the actin filaments that were polymerized by mDia, to create stress fibers.
Myosin-10 also known as myosin heavy chain 10 or non-muscle myosin IIB (NM-IIB) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH10 gene. [5] [6] Non-muscle myosins are expressed in a wide variety of tissues, but NM-IIB is the only non-muscle myosin II isoform expressed in cardiac muscle, where it localizes to adherens junctions within intercalated discs.
