abstract：:Platelet activation (cytosolic [Ca2+] increase, aggregation and ATP secretion) was induced with A1F-4. This agent presumably interacts with a G protein which appears to mediate the coupling of the receptors for Ca mobilizing hormones and phospholipase C. All the A1F-4 evoked responses were inhibited by treatment with ...
