This illustrates the dualmechanism of the complex, with one subunit, namelyGPVI, responsible for binding to the ligand, and the othersubunit, the FcR ... investigate whether GPVI was functional, we measuredtyrosine phosphorylation of the FcR c-chain and the tyrosine kinase Syk, which is tyrosine phosphorylated andactivated early after GPVI engagement. ... to the tyrosine kinase.Further, K562 cells stably transfected with only GPVI, andtherefore lacking FcR c-chain (K562/F1), did not show adetectable increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk...
