Descriptor desintegrinas
Entry term(s) desintegrina
Scope note: Familia de polipéptidos purificados procedentes de venenos de serpientes, que contienen la secuencia arginina-glicina-ácido aspártico (RGD). El tripéptido RGD se une a los receptores de integrinas y así inhibe de modo competitivo las interacciones normales integrina-ligando. De este modo las desintegrinas bloquean las funciones adhesivas y actúan como inhibidores de la agregación plaquetaria.

Scope note: A family of polypeptides purified from snake venoms, which contain the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence. The RGD tripeptide binds to integrin receptors and thus competitively inhibits normal integrin-ligand interactions. Disintegrins thus block adhesive functions and act as platelet aggregation inhibitors.
