Zyxin regulates endothelial von Willebrand factor secretion by reorganizing actin filaments around exocytic granules

The adaptor protein zyxin is known for its mechanosensing function in the maintenance of actin network. Here the authors show that zyxin is key to blood homeostasis and thrombosis by controlling the endothelial release of von Willebrand factor and the formation of actin scaffolds on exocytic granule...
