Rat serum phosphorylcholine binding protein (PCBP), a normal component of rat serum, inhibits in vitro aggregation of rat, rabbit and human platelets by interacting with platelets. In the present study, we have demonstrated the calcium-dependent, specific and saturable binding of 125I-PCBP to rat, rabbit and human platelets. Scatchard analysis of the binding data reveal a class of specific high-affinity binding sites with Kd values of 45.2 +/- 14.9, 26.1 +/- 8.3 and 32.2 +/- 9.9 nM on rat, rabbit and human platelets, respectively. These platelets also expressed a high capacity for binding to 125I-PCBP. The binding of 125I-PCBP to platelets was calcium- and time-dependent, and could be inhibited by phosphorylcholine (IC50 = 5.6 microM). Occupation of these binding sites by PCBP may be responsible for inhibition of platelet aggregation.

D002097 C-Reactive Protein A plasma protein that circulates in increased amounts during inflammation and after tissue damage. C-Reactive Protein measured by more sensitive methods often for coronary heart disease risk assessment is referred to as High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP).

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
