Regulation and Function of WASp in Platelets by the Collagen Receptor, Glycoprotein VI
Wiskott Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked recessive disorder associated with abnormalities in platelets and lymphocytes giving rise to thrombocytopenia and immunodeficiency. WAS is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the cytoskeletal protein (WASp). Despite its importance, the role of WASp in platelet function is not established.

Platelet glycoprotein VI in the regulation of thrombus growth
Platelet glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is the principal signalling receptor for collagen, which is exposed upon damage to the extracellular matrix and at site of rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. GPVI has recently been shown to be also a receptor for fibrinogen and fibrin, which mediate platelet aggregation and clot formation.

Background: Platelet function is driven by the expression of specialized surface markers. The concept of distinct circulating subpopulations of platelets has emerged in recent years, but their exact nature remains debatable.
