Fig. 1From: New horizon in platelet function: with special reference to a recently-found molecule, CLEC-2Signal transduction pathway mediated through CLEC-2. Overall, the signal transduction pathway is strikingly similar to that of GPVI, involving a number of signaling molecules related to tyrosine kinases. Upon association with its agonists, CLEC-2 assumes multimerization, and Syk and Src family kinases mediates tyrosine phosphorylation of its hemITAM, which is followed by downstream signals culminating in PLCγ2 activation. Signaling molecules required for full activation of platelets are marked in red, those which are partially required are marked in orange, and those which can be spared are marked in yellow Back to article page
