Activation of GPIIb/IIIa is known to require agonist-induced inside-out signaling through G q,
G i, and G z. Although activated by several platelet agonists, including thrombin and
thromboxane A 2, the contribution of the G 12/13 signaling pathway to GPIIb/IIIa activation
has not been investigated. In this study, we used selective stimulation of G protein pathways
to investigate the contribution of G 12/13 activation to platelet fibrinogen receptor activation.
