Mouse Gene Set: GOCC_PLATELET_ALPHA_GRANULE

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOCC_PLATELET_ALPHA_GRANULE

Standard name GOCC_PLATELET_ALPHA_GRANULE
Systematic name MM12076
Brief description A secretory organelle found in blood platelets, which is unique in that it exhibits further compartmentalization and acquires its protein content via two distinct mechanisms: (1) biosynthesis predominantly at the megakaryocyte (MK) level (with some vestigial platelet synthesis) (e.g. platelet factor 4) and (2) endocytosis and pinocytosis at both the MK and circulating platelet levels (e.g. fibrinogen (Fg) and IgG).
