Platelet granule membrane protein 140

Platelet Granular Membrane Protein 140 Measurement (GMP-140) In order to determine whether platelet cell adhesion receptors are abnormal, GMP-140 is rapidly stimulated by thrombin, histamine, complement C5b9 and other alpha granules and rod-shaped body membranes. Fusion with the cell membrane and expression on the cell membrane, mediate the initial adhesion of leukocytes and endothelial cells, mediate the combination of platelets and a variety of leukocytes, and play an important role in inflammation and thrombosis.
