Descriptor factor plaquetario 4
Entry term(s) factor antiheparina
quimiocina CXCL4
Scope note: Quimiocina CXC que se encuentra en los gránulos alfa de las PLAQUETAS. La proteína tiene un peso molecular de 7.800 kDa y puede presentarse como monómero, dímero o tetrámero dependiendo de su concentración en solución. El factor plaquetario 4 tiene gran afinidad por la HEPARINA y a menudo forma complejos con GLUCOPROTEÍNAS, como la PROTEÍNA C.

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.
