Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mechanisms of nucleotide accumulation and release in blood cells are unclear. In this study, we analyzed vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) function and localization in platelet. VNUT was localized in dense granules and play crucial roles in nucleotide accumulation and release in platelets. We also found an effective VNUT inhibitor, glyoxylate.
