The analysis of platelet membrane glycoproteins and platelet functions was conducted to disclose the role of GPI and V in the thrombin activation of platelet. Our previous study proved that native and HNB thrombin hydrolyzed GPV(M. W.8-9 × 104) selectively and released new glycoprotein fragment (M.W. 6.2-6.8 × 104 ) of GPV, resulting in the development of 14C-5HT release reaction and platelet MDA production. But DIP thrombin could not induce these phenomena.  Membrane surface proteins of intact platelets were labeled with Na[3H]BH4 by neuraminidase and galactose oxidase method and analyzed by fluorography after SDS-PAGE.  The high molecular weight glycoproteins, GPI, GPIII and GPV were diminished by trypsin treatment in correlation with the concentration and incubation time. In correspond to the diminution of these membrane glycoproteins, platelet release reaction was increased .Chymotrypsin treatment in various concentrations, release reaction and MDA production were not induced in spite of long incubation times. But the ristocetin aggregation was decreased in Chymotrypsin treated platelets whose membrane glycoproteins did not change significantly. The Chymotrypsin treated platelets whose GPI was modified functionally, showed normal release reaction and MDA production by thrombin stimulation. On the other hand, the thrombin treated platelets in low concentration previously whose GPV was hydrolyzed partially, demonstrated little release reaction and MDA production by thrombin or trypsin stimulation. From these results, the GPV was hydrolyzed specifically by thrombin and nonspecifically by trypsin but was not hydrolyzed by Chymotrypsin. It was concluded that the thrombin binds to the GPI and hydrolyzed GPV specifically, and hydrolysis of GPV might act as a signal to induce the platelet release reaction and prostaglandin metabolism.
