Isolation and Characterization of the Gene Encoding a Novel Factor Xa-directed Anticoagulant from the Yellow Fever Mosquito,Aedes aegypti
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
Mosquito salivary glands secrete a number of proteins that inhibit mammalian hemostasis and facilitate blood feeding. We have isolated the protein product and corresponding cDNA of a gene designated Anticoagulant-factor Xa (AFXa), that encodes the factor Xa (FXa)-directed anticoagulant of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. The protein was purified partially by cation exchange chromatography and shown by...
