Structural highlights

Function

SLAA_PROFL 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).^{[1] [2]}
