Novel aspects of platelet factor XIII function.
Pools of factor XIII (FXIII) exist in the plasma and within the cytoplasm of hematopoietic cells, including platelets. The functions of the cellular form, FXIII-A, have been assumed to be intracellular in nature, as the protein lacks a signal sequence for its release. Mounting evidence now suggests that platelet FXIII-A modulates hemostasis by several different mechanisms. In this condensed rev...
متن کاملType Xiii Collagen
Genomic clones covering the entire mouse type XIII collagen gene (Col13a1) were isolated, and the complete exon-intron organization was characterized. The gene was found to be about 135 kb in size and to locate in the mouse chromosome 10. Comparison of gene structures and promoter regions between man and mouse indicated high conservation between the two species. In order to understand the biolo...
متن کاملPlatelet Factor XIII and Calpain Negatively Regulate Integrin
Excessive accumulation of platelets at sites of atherosclerotic plaque rupture leads to the development of arterial thrombi, precipitating clinical events such as the acute coronary syndromes and ischemic stroke. The major platelet adhesion receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb– IIIa (integrin IIb 3) plays a central role in this process by promoting platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. We demo...
متن کاملIn vivo radiolabeling of platelet proteins: a new method with identification of platelet factor XIII.
A method for radiolabeling platelets in vivo was developed in which 3H-arginine was injected into the bone marrow of normal dogs. On the third day after injection, a maximum of 6%--7% of the radioactivity had been incorporated into the total platelet mass. This method of isotope administration resulted in a 50--60-fold increase in maximum uptake of radiolabel by platelets, as compared to values...
متن کاملPlatelet-associated factor XIII as a marker of platelet activation in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
In the past several years, monoclonal antibodies have been developed that distinguish between resting and activated platelets in vitro. These antibodies recognize epitopes expressed on membrane proteins or soluble proteins, such as factor XIIIa and thrombospondin, that bind only to activated platelets. We have used fluorescence flow cytometry to determine whether three such antibodies can detec...
