P2X7 signaling may promote TF-dependent thrombosis in mice; leaves open its viability as an antithrombotic target in humans.
Does P2X7 receptor signaling contribute to tissue factor-dependent thrombosis in mice?
PDI regulates a P2X7 receptor-dependent signaling pathway that generates prothrombotic tissue factor, linking inflammation and thrombosis and providing a potential new target for antithrombotic therapy.
Furlan-Freguia et al. (2011) studied this question.
