Zinc metalloproteinase-disintegrin-like VAP2B

UniProtKB accession:  Q90282

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Zinc metalloprotease that abolishes platelet aggregation induced by collagen, but has no effect on platelet aggregation induced by ADP or thromboxane analog. This inhibition may be due to its ability to bind collagen and block the binding site on collagen for platelets and/or to its ability to bind to the platelet alpha-2/beta-1 collagen receptor (ITGA2/ITGB1) to block its interaction with collagen and hence prevent platelet stimulation.
