Annotation
| Function | Triabin is a specific protein that belongs to the D45 family of proteins. It was origilly identified in the saliva of the tsetse fly, which is known to transmit African trypanosomes, the causative agents of sleeping sickness. Triabin is believed to play a role in the modulation of host immune responses and the transmission of trypanosomes. It acts by inhibiting the host immune system and promoting the survival and establishment of the parasite within the host. The exact mechanisms and interactions of triabin with the host immune system are still areas of ongoing research | ||
