An ion-channel modulator from the saliva of the brown ear tick has a highly modified Kunitz/BPTI structure.

An ion-channel modulator from the saliva of the brown ear tick has a highly modified Kunitz/BPTI structure.

Ra-KLP, a 75 amino acid protein secreted by the salivary gland of the brown ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus has a sequence resembling those of Kunitz/BPTI proteins. We report the detection, purification and characterization of the function of Ra-KLP. In addition, determination of the three-dim...
