Interspecies differences in protein expression do not impact the spatiotemporal regulation of glycoprotein VI mediated activation
Accurate protein quantification is a vital prerequisite for generating meaningful predictions when using systems biology approaches, a method that is increasingly being used to unravel the complexities of subcellular interactions and as part of the drug discovery process. Quantitative proteomics, flow cytometry, and western blotting have been extensively used to define human platelet protein copy numbers, yet for mouse platelets, a model widely used for platelet research, evidence is largely limited to a single proteomic dataset in which the total amount of proteins was generally comparatively higher than those found in human platelets. ; This work was supported by the Academy of Medical Science springboard grant to A.Y.P.
