Platelet factor 4 (PF-4) is a 70 amino acid protein that is released from the alpha granules of activated platelets and binds with high affinity to heparin. Its major physiologic role appears to be neutralization of heparin like molecules on the endothelial surface of blood vessels, thereby inhibiting local antithrombin III activity and promoting coagulation. As a strong chemoattractant for neutrophils and fibroblasts, PF-4 probably has a role in inflammation and wound repair.
