responsible for the commitment of megakaryoblast further in more mature states
thrombopoeitin
normal value of platelets
150 - 400 x 10^9 L
megakaryocute progenitors arise from common myeloid progenitor under the transcription gene product
GATA-1
GATA 1 is regulated by this cofactor
FOG1
megakaryocyte differentiation is suppressed by gene product
MYB
last precursor cell capable of mitosis
CFU-meg
form of mitosis that lacks telophase and cytokinesis
endomitosis
endomitosis is initiated by the suppresion of ____ by the ___
Rho/ROCK signaling pathway
