Platelet receptors.
Well-understood functions for "traditional" platelet receptors are described, but "newer" receptors are equally discussed. Receptors are described biochemically (structure, ligand(s), protein partners, and function) and whenever possible, their clinical importance (mutations, polymorphisms, syndrome) are highlighted.
