Platelet clearance via shear-induced unfolding of a membrane mechanoreceptor

Platelet clearance via shear-induced unfolding of a membrane mechanoreceptor

Mechanisms by which blood cells sense shear stress are poorly characterized. In platelets, glycoprotein (GP)Ib-IX receptor complex has been long suggested to be a shear sensor and receptor. Recently, a relatively unstable and mechanosensitive domain in the GPIba subunit of GPIb-IX was identified. He...
