title: Changes in [3H]inositol-labelled phosphoinositides of pig platelets in response to thrombin.
abstract: Pig platelet phosphoinositides have been labelled with [3H]inositol and then treated with thrombin in the absence of Ca2+. There was a loss of labelled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate between 30 and 60 s after the addition of thrombin but the general picture was of increased labelling over a 4-min period. Labelling of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate showed no period of loss but there was an early loss of phosphatidylinositol and no increased labelling during the 4-min incubation. The small amount of lysophosphatidyl[3H]inositol in the platelets was not affected by thrombin treatment. Thrombin caused loss of [14C]arachidonate-labelled phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol.
