Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) was discovered over fifty years ago as an enzyme that forms disulfide bonds in newly synthesized proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum [1]. Twenty five years ago PDI was shown to be released from activated platelets [2] opening up a new field of research on extracellular functions of this enzyme. PDI was subsequently localized to the platelet surface [3] and shown to mediate platelet aggregation [4, 5]. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
