| UniProt code: O93427. |
| Organism: | Crotalus durissus terrificus (South American rattlesnake). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Bifurcata; Unidentata; Episquamata; Toxicofera; Serpentes; Colubroidea; Viperidae; Crotalinae; Crotalus. | |
| Function: | Snake venom lectin that activates platelets by binding to the platelet collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GP6) (PubMed:9153205). The indirect activation of integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 (ITGA2B/ITGB3) also induced by the toxin is upstream the cytoskeletal translocation of GPIb, FcRgamma (FCER1G) and 14-3-3zeta (YWHAZ)(PubMed:16102113). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16102113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9153205}. | |
| Subunit: | Tetramer of heterodimers of alpha and beta subunits (alphabeta)(4); disulfide-linked. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed by the venom gland. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Does not act by binding to GPIb. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:9153205}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the snaclec family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
