Abstract

Background: Dok proteins are negative regulators of immunoreceptor signaling and, potentially, integrin adhesion receptors. Results: Deficiency of Dok-2 results in enhanced shear-dependent integrin adhesion in platelets, leading to accelerated platelet thrombus growth. Conclusion: Dok-2 is a shear-specific negative regulator of blood clot formation. Significance: Dok-2 regulates biomechanical platelet adhesion, and targeting this molecule may provide new avenues to regulate thrombosis. ? 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
