Annotation
| Function | Heme-based protein that delivers nitric oxide gas (NO) to the victim while feeding, resulting in vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation. Also binds tightly to histamine, which is released by the host to induce wound healing. NO release is pH dependent and linked to loop dymics. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15157102, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15598503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20524697, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23133364, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23885811} | ||
