Abstract:
The major microfilamental protein of human blood platelets is actin. It has been estimated to constitute 20-50% of total platelet proteins. The organization of actin filaments within the cell is regulated by their association with other proteins. This review will focus on the composition, the cellular organization and on the functions of the microfilamental system in unstimulated and stimulated platelets.
