Regulated protein synthesis is essential for megakaryocyte (MK) and platelet functions, including platelet production and activation. PDK1 (phosphoinositide‐dependent kinase 1) regulates platelet functional responses and has been associated with circulating platelet counts. Whether PDK1 also directly regulates protein synthetic responses in MKs and platelets, and platelet production by MKs, remains unknown.
