Female-specific histamine-binding protein 2

UniProtKB accession:  O77421

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Salivary tick protein that acts by scavenging histamine at the wound site, outcompeting histamine receptors for histamine, thereby overcoming host inflammatory responses (PubMed:10360182). Binds histamine with a high-affinity (Kd=1.7 nM) (PubMed:10360182). Contains two binding histamine sites (H and L), that appear to bind histamine with differing affinities (high and low) (PubMed:10360182).
