Annotation
| Function | Triatins are a subfamily of lipocalin proteins that have been identified in the saliva of triatomine bugs, which are blood-feeding insects known for transmitting the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Unlike other lipocalins, such as human salivary lipocalin (HSL), triatins have been primarily studied for their role in the modulation of the host immune system and hemostasis during blood-feeding | ||
