Q

Effect of prostacyclin on ionic calcium

A

Sequesters ionic calcium to the DTS

A

Suppresses platelet activation

18
Q

Activation of IP3-DAG pathway

A

G-protein activates phospholipase C

19
Q

Phospholipase C function in IP3-DAG pathway

A

Cleaves phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to form IP3 and DAG

20
Q

Function of IP3 in platelet activation

A

Promotes release of ionic calcium from DTS, activates actin microfilament contraction

21
Q

IP3 effect on phospholipase A2

A

IP3 may activate phospholipase A2

22
Q

Role of DAG in platelet activation

A

Activates phosphokinase C, triggers phosphorylation of pleckstrin
