This review will deal primarily with this contractile protein from human blood platelets, which we have named thrombosthenin in view of its origin and function. A brief review on blood platelets in general and their role in hemostatis will be included. The role of thrombosthenin for platelet function will be discussed and its properties compared with those of other contractile proteins. [Pg.2]

Today thrombosthenin is the only contractile protein of nonmuscular origin available in larger quantities. This alone makes it an interesting material from the point of view of comparative physiology. On the other hand, the high content of thrombosthenin in the blood platelets also suggests an important function of this material in physiological platelet activity. [Pg.21]

The discussion of the similarities and dissimilarities of thrombosthenin and other contractile proteins will be restricted to the group of actomyosin-like proteins. As already mentioned, contractile substances of other types have not yet been isolated in a purified form and most of our knowledge about them comes from studies of glycerol-extracted cell models, which have not yet been prepared from blood platelets. Lastly, there can be little doubt that the mode of action of these other systems must be quite different from thrombosthenin. [Pg.28]

Thus, thrombosthenin may prove not only interesting with respect to the functions of the blood platelets but also with respect to the general importance of the elucidation of the many remaining problems in the field of the contractile proteins. [Pg.32]
