Localization of a thrombin-sensitive calcium pool in platelets
Abstract
Electron microscopic x-ray microprobe analysis of pyroantimonate precipitates in platelets fixed in osmium tetroxide-pyroantimonate revealed calcium localization in the nucleoids of alpha-granules. This pool of calcium had largely disappeared within 10 sec after stimulation of platelets by thrombin. Such a rapid change suggests that this calcium pool may have a regulatory role in stimulus-response coupling.
