The Transmembrane Protein Disulfide Isomerase TMX1 Negatively Regulates Thrombosis
The control of platelet function and coagulation is a fine balance between activation and inhibitory mechanisms. Platelets become rapidly activated by multiple receptors agonists and have a central role in thrombosis in acute coronary syndromes, and other disease states. Similarly, naturally occurring anticoagulants are critical in preventing fibrin generation and thrombosis. Fivemembers of theprotein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of enzymes, PDI, ERp57, ERp5, ERp72 and ERp46 potentiate activation of IIb3 and thrombosis.We discovered atransmembrane member of the PDI family found to inhibit activation of IIb3 and member of the PDI family in platelets, TMX1, which thrombosis. TMX1 is…
