| Abstract: | P-selectin is stored in the α-granules of platelets and the Weibel-Palade bodies of endothelial cells. Upon activation, it is re distributed to the plasma membrane where it participates in binding to its receptor, P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1, present on the surface of activated leukocytes. Soluble P-selectin (sP-sel) is a cleaved form detected in plasma and is a marker of platelet activation and endothelial dysfunction. |
