SUMMARY The presence of adenylic kinase has been demonstrated in the intact platelet and in platelet‐poor plasma. The addition of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to platelet suspensions results in further release of ADP by the platelet. Subtle changes of nucleotide concentrations induced in this way may be important in platelet aggregation.
