“…In a recent study, β1 and α2 integrins were isolated from megakaryocytes of Vav1-hJAK2 V617F mice and control mice. Glycosylation of both types of integrins affected Janus kinase-2 activity, which induced myelofibrosis in mice ( Gaye et al, 2022 ). In addition, glycosylation of type-IV collagen regulates binding of α2β1 and α3β1 integrin in melanocytes ( Stawikowski et al, 2014 ), and remodels the ECM ( Jürgensen et al, 2011 ) which, in turn, improves muscle tenderness.…”
