Diglyceride/monoglyceride lipases pathway is not essential for arachidonate release in thrombin-activated human platelets.

abstract：:Our recent study (Saiki, Y., and Ikemoto, N., Biochemistry 38, 3112-3119, 1999) suggests that Ca2+ release and re-uptake of the released Ca2+ are coordinated. The following results suggest that the coordination is mediated by the luminal Ca2+ ([Ca2+]lum) transient. Upon inducing the release of the passively loaded Ca2...
