The storage defects in grey platelet syndrome and αδ‐storage pool deficiency affect α‐granule factor V and multimerin storage without altering their proteolytic processing

Among proteins stored in alpha-granules, multimerin and factor V share unusual features: they bind to each other, are proteolysed to unique forms and are stored eccentrically in alpha-granules. These unique features of their processing led us to study these proteins in alpha delta storage pool deficiency (alphadelta-SPD) and grey platelet syndrome (GPS, alpha-SPD), two conditions known to impair alpha-granule protein storage. Platelet factor V …
