Enzyme activity, [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 hydrolyzed pmol/min per ml | 17 ± 6 (n = 5) | 0 | 11 ± 4 (n = 5) | 8 ± 2 (n = 3) |
Densitometry, arbitrary units | 1 | 0 | 0.76 ± 0.015 (n = 3) | 0.15 ± 0.025 (n = 5) |
Specific activity, enzyme activity per unit densitometry | 17 | 0 | 14 | 53 |
4-Phosphatase activity was determined in the cytosol and cytoskeleton (CSK) of nonstimulated platelets and platelets thrombin-stimulated for 5 min. Densitometric analysis was performed on 4-phosphatase immunoblots of the same platelet fractions, and the specific 4-phosphatase enzyme activity per unit protein was determined.
