kistrin (medicine)


kistrin
<haematology, molecular biology> Naturally occurring inhibitor (68 residue peptide) of platelet aggregation found in the venom of Malayan pit viper Agkistrodon rhodostoma.

Kistrin has an RGD site that competes for the platelet IIb/IIIa integrin and is therefore one of the disintegrins.
