MeSH Heading: Platelet Factor 4
Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.374.200.120.900; D12.776.124.125.720; D12.776.467.374.200.120.900; D23.119.940; D23.125.300.120.900; D23.469.200.120.900; D23.529.374.200.120.900
Unique ID: D010978
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010978
Scope Note: A CXC chemokine that is found in the alpha granules of PLATELETS. The protein has a molecular size of 7800 kDa and can occur as a monomer, a dimer or a tetramer depending upon its concentration in solution. Platelet factor 4 has a high affinity for HEPARIN and is often found complexed with GLYCOPROTEINS such as PROTEIN C.
Entry Term(s): Antiheparin Factor; CXCL4 Chemokine; Chemokine CXCL4; Heparin Neutralizing Protein; PF4 (Platelet Factor 4); gamma-Thromboglobulin
