A point mutation in KINDLIN3 ablates activation of three integrin subfamilies in humans

nature.com » 2009 » March » 16th » A point mutation in KINDLIN3 ablates activation of three integrin subfamilies in humans

In this issue, three reports show that Kindlin-3 is crucial for activation of multiple classes of integrins in several types of hematopoietic cells. In mice, Kindlin-3 was previously shown to be important for platelet activation and blood clotting, and Moser et al. now show its importance in leukocytes for adhesion to the endothelium. In humans, Svensson et al. and Malinin et al. show that … Continue Reading »
