Thrombin and collagen are the two most important platelet activators. ADP is considered a weak agonist; it causes aggregation but not granule release. (GP, glycoprotein; R1–R5 , various receptors; AC, adenylyl cyclase ; PLA2, phospholipase A2; PL, phospholipids; PLC β, phospholipase C β; PIP2, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate; cAMP , cyclic AMP; PKC , protein kinase C; TxA2, thromboxane A2; IP3, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate; DAG, 1,2-diacylglycerol. The G proteins that are involved are not shown .
