Bitiscetin, a C-type lectin-like heterodimeric snake venom protein purified from Bitis arietans, binds to human von Willebrand factor (VWF) and induces the platelet membrane glycoprotein (GP) lb-dependent platelet agglutination in vitro similar to...
Bitiscetin, a C-type lectin-like protein isolated from the venom of the snake Bitis arientans, promotes the interactions between plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) and platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) to induce platelet aggregation. We rep...
