beta-Thromboglobulin

A platelet-specific protein which is released when platelets aggregate. Elevated plasma levels have been reported after deep venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, myocardial infarction with mural thrombosis, and myeloproliferative disorders. Measurement of beta-thromboglobulin in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay is used for the diagnosis and assessment of progress of thromboembolic disorders.
Also Known As:
beta-2 Thromboglobulin; Thromboglobulin, beta-2; beta 2 Thromboglobulin; beta Thromboglobulin

01/01/1982 - "After therapy-induced remission, the number of marrow megakaryocytes decreased, the alpha-granules were normally produced, the plasma beta-thromboglobulin level was normal and the myelofibrosis disappeared. "
01/01/1987 - "To investigate the platelet contribution to the development of myelofibrosis in hairy cell leukaemia (HCL), we have studied two platelet alpha granule components in 15 patients with HCL before chemotherapy: mitogenic activity was measured by 3H thymidine incorporation in BALB/C 3T3 cells and beta thromboglobulin (beta TG) assayed by radioimmunoassay (RIA). "
06/02/1990 - "[Beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 in a follow-up of acute myelofibrosis (megakaryoblastic leukemia)]."
06/02/1990 - "It is now known that this megakaryoblastic proliferation is responsible for myelofibrosis as an increased release of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), beta-thromboglobulin (BTG), and platelet factor 4 (PF4) develops because ineffective megakaryocytopoiesis and failure of these clonal populations to store the mentioned substances in their alpha granules. "
10/01/1995 - "Although the exact mechanism for the progression of myelofibrosis in acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia is unclear, certain humoral factors released from the proliferating megakaryoblasts that are unable to store these factors in their defective alpha-granules, including platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), fibroblast growth factors (FGF), platelet factor-4 (PF-4), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and beta-thromboglobulin, could result in increased collagen synthesis by bone marrow fibroblasts.
