| UniProt functional annotation for Q8AV97 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8AV97. |
| Organism: | Protobothrops flavoviridis (Habu) (Trimeresurus flavoviridis). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Bifurcata; Unidentata; Episquamata; Toxicofera; Serpentes; Colubroidea; Viperidae; Crotalinae; Protobothrops. | |
| Function: | Strong platelet aggregation inhibitor. Binds specifically to platelet glycoprotein Ibalpha (GP1BA) with high affinity and inhibits vWF-dependent platelet aggregation (PubMed:7599152). Has also been observed to induce small agglutinates in washed platelets by binding to GPIb (PubMed:10688335). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10688335, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7599152}. | |
| Subunit: | Tetramer of heterodimers of alpha and beta subunits (alphabeta)(4); disulfide-linked. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10684640}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Has no effect on ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation in platelet rich plasma. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:7599152}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the snaclec family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
