Annotation
| Function | The D7 family of salivary proteins plays a crucial role in the blood-feeding process of these arthropods. They are known to have anti-coagulant properties and can inhibit platelet aggregation, which helps the arthropods to obtain a blood meal by preventing the host's blood from clotting at the feeding site | ||
