Title: Kistrin
CAS Registry Number: 127829-86-1
CAS Name: Kistrin (Agkistrodon rhodostoma reduced)
Literature References: Member of a homologous family of low molecular weight, cysteine-rich proteins known as disintegrins. Isolated from various viper venoms; characterized by an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) binding site and by inhibition of platelet aggregation by antagonism of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa integrin receptors. A single chain polypeptide, mol wt ~7318, consists of 68 amino acids with six intramolecular disulfide bonds; no regular secondary structure. Isolated from the venom of the Malayan pit viper Agkistrodon rhodostoma. Purification, chemical and biological characterization: M. S. Dennis et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 2471 (1989); R. A.
