Inhibition of the Plasma SCUBE1, a Novel Platelet Adhesive Protein, Protects Mice Against Thrombosis.
Dr. Yang, Ruey-Bing (Ray)
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol., May 15, 2014Signal peptide-CUB-EGF domain-containing protein 1 (SCUBE1), a secreted and surface-exposed glycoprotein on activated platelets, promotes platelet-platelet interaction and supports platelet-matrix adhesion. Its plasma level is a biomarker of platelet activation in acute thrombotic diseases. However, the exact roles of plasma SCUBE1 in vivo remain undefined.
