Rare platelet G protein‐coupled receptor variants: What Can We Learn?
Summary Platelet expressed G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are critical regulators of platelet function. Pharmacological blockade of these receptors forms a powerful therapeutic tool in the treatment and prevention of arterial thrombosis associated with coronary atherosclerosis and ischaemic stroke. However, anti‐thrombotic drug therapy is associated with high inter‐patient variability in therapeutic response and adverse bleeding side‐effects. In order to optimise the use of existing antiplatelet drugs and to develop new therapies more detailed knowledge is required relating to the molecular mechanisms that reg...
