In pharmacological terms the interaction of epinephrine with platelets has been well studied. Platelets contain around 300 receptors for epinephrine which are α2-adrenergic subclass.
Epinephrine can stimulate fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation without causing platelet secretion; however, as is the case with other so called ‘weak’ agonists, platelet secretion in response to epinephrine takes place only after initial aggregation.
The reagent contains a lyophilised preparation of 100µM Epinephrine with added buffer and stabilisers.
