Platelet-collagen interaction is a complex event that involves ligand-receptor interaction. There are many adhesive non-integrin receptors for platelets to interact with various types of collagens. These non-integrin receptors also serve as signal transducers both from the outside of platelets to the inside and possibly vice versa. The present review covers basic aspects of non-integrin receptor function and various signal transduction pathways.
