Thrombospondin promotes platelet aggregation.
Thrombospondin (TSP), isolated from human platelets, promotes aggregation of both nonstimulated platelets and platelets stimulated with thrombin or ADP. The TSP-promoted aggregation is specific since a monoclonal antibody against TSP inhibits the effect of exogenously added TSP and inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in the absence of added TSP. Several lines of evidence suggest that...
متن کاملPlatelet Thrombospondin Forms
Thrombospondin (TSP), a multifunctional a-granule glycoprotein of human platelets binds fibrinogen, fibronectin, heparin, histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRGP), and plasminogen (Pig), and thus, may play an important role in regulating thrombotic influences at vessel surfaces. In this study we have demonstrated that purified human platelet TSP formed a trimolecular complex with human Pig and HRGP. ...
متن کاملRole of thrombospondin in platelet aggregation.
Thrombospondin (TSP), the major alpha-granule protein of human platelets, binds to the activated platelet surface upon platelet stimulation. TSP has hemagglutinating (lectin-like) activity and forms a specific complex with fibrinogen. Based on these observations, it was postulated that the interaction of TSP and fibrinogen on the activated platelet surface may be an important step in the platel...
متن کاملRapid purification and partial characterization of human platelet glycoprotein IIIb. Interaction with thrombospondin and its role in platelet aggregation.
Glycoprotein IIIb (also known as glycoprotein IV) is a major glycoprotein present on the surface of human platelets. Recent studies suggest that glycoprotein IIIb may be a receptor site for thrombospondin. Thrombospondin, a multifunctional adhesive glycoprotein released from stimulated platelets, plays an important role in the stabilization of platelet aggregates. In this study, a new method fo...
متن کاملPhysical characterization of the procollagen module of human thrombospondin 1 expressed in insect cells.
Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is a homotrimeric glycoprotein composed of 150-kDa subunits connected by disulfide bridges. The procollagen module of thrombospondin 1 has been implicated in antiangiogenic activity. Procollagen modules are found in a number of extracellular proteins and are identifiable by 10 cysteines with characteristic spacing. We expressed and studied the procollagen module (C) of h...
