Description:

Platelet Factor 4 is synthesized in megakaryocytes and platelets. Depending on the protein concentration and buffer conditions, PF4 appears as a mono-, di-, tri-, or tetramer. PF4 is biologically active in the tetrameric form, promotes blood coagulation and is also important in wound healing and inflammation. PF4, together with heparin (PF4-heparin complex) is an important antigen of antibodies inducing heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Purified PF4 is used in several laboratory tests for the detection of HIT antibodies.
