Serine-threonine kinases play crucial roles in activating and inhibitory signaling pathways that control platelet activation. Diversity in isozyme composition, catalytic and regulatory subunits, and subcellular localization provide a multitude of signaling properties through which the platelet initiates its functional responses or prevents them. This chapter describes a number of techniques and assays that may be used to study various specific serine-threonine kinases in platelets and their regulation during the platelet-activation process.
