ROLE OF CALPONIN IN PLATELET FUNCTION AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC RESEARCH - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Calponin is an actin binding protein known to convert external mechanical signals into intracellular chemical signals in different types of cells. Calponin especially Calponin2 is found in platelets and macrophages. Macrophages play an important role in inflammatory reaction especially in the setting of atherosclerotic disease. Role of Calponin in platelet function and macrophage activity is gaining lot of attention. In this paper, we will review the role of Calponin2 on platelet activity and atherosclerotic disease.
