Induction of human platelet fibrinogen receptors by epinephrine in the absence of released ADP. 1982

E I Peerschke

The ability of epinephrine to expose platelet fibrinogen receptors independent of released ADP was assessed using aspirin-treated, gel-filtered platelets. Similar to ADP-induced aggregation, platelet aggregation in response to epinephrine was accompanied by fibrinogen binding. Ten micromolar epinephrine induced a maximum number of platelet fibrinogen receptors in the absence of significant 14C-serotonin release. As indicated by Scatchard analysis, receptors exposed by both epinephrine and ADP had similar affinities for fibrinogen, but epinephrine induced approximately 30% fewer receptors than did ADP. This appears to correlate with the lesser degree of primary aggregation observed with this agent. Studies using phentolamine, a specific alpha-adrenergic antagonist, apyrase, or creatine phosphate/creatine kinase indicate that the exposure of platelet fibrinogen receptors by epinephrine was specific for platelet alpha-adrenergic receptor stimulation and was not the result of released ADP.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
