Abstract
A variety of fatty acids can become covalently attached to platelet pr oteins by thioester linkage, These fatty acids include palmitate, myri state, stearate, arachidonate, and eicosapentaenoate. More than 20 pla telet proteins can be acylated by fatty acids. Several of the acylated platelet proteins have been identified, including glycoprotein Ib bet a, glycoprotein IX, P-selectin, G-protein a subunits, and CD9. This re port reviews the fatty acid acylation of platelet proteins.
