homeostasis/metabolism
• platelets fail to aggregrate in response to low concentrations of ADP, collagen or U46619 (TXA2 analogue)
• although thrombin stimulates platelet aggregation in mutants, the platelets are abnormally loosely packed, display fewer and smaller contact sites and are incompletely degranulated
|
• secretion of dense granule stores, as measured by ATP release, is significantly impaired in platelets
|
• mice are protected against the development of induced arterial and venous thrombosis, but do not suffer spontaneous or trauma-induced bleeding
• resistance to thrombosis is not due to increased thrombolysis
|
cardiovascular system
• in the brain and liver

• retinas appear normal with no photoreceptor degeneration
