title: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors regulate serotonin uptake in platelets.
abstract: Uptake of tritiated serotonin into human platelets was found to be rapidly inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and methyl 2,5-dihydroxycinnamate. Binding studies indicated that uptake inhibition did not correlate with direct binding of these inhibitors to the transporter. Chelation of mobilizable intracellular Ca2+ did not inhibit the effects of genistein on uptake. These results suggest a more direct, non-Ca2+ mediated effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on uptake.
