Deletion of Mfsd2b impairs thrombotic functions of platelets

The mechanisms by which platelets release sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is not well characterized. Here the authors show that Mfsd2b is required for S1P release from both resting and activated platelets and that deletion of Mfsd2b impairs thrombotic functions of platelets.
