CC   -!- FUNCTION: Echicetin itself inhibits aggregation of washed platelets
CC       induced by vWF, thrombin or alboaggregin-A (PubMed:8481512,
CC       PubMed:11290595). However, when complexed with the pentameric plasma
CC       immunoglobulin Mkappa (IgMkappa), echicetin binds specifically to GPIb
CC       and activates platelets. This is caused by P-selectin expression and
CC       activation of alpha-IIb/beta-3 as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of
CC       several signal transduction molecules, including p53/56(LYN), p64,
CC       p72(SYK), p70 to p90, and p120 (PubMed:11290595). In vivo, it induces
CC       thrombocytopenia when injected into mice (PubMed:8481512), probably
CC       accounting of activation of platelets rather than inhibition
CC       (PubMed:11290595). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11290595,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:8481512, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9163349}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of subunits alpha and beta; disulfide-linked
CC       (PubMed:9163349). Forms an active complex with the pentameric
CC       immunoglobuline Mkappa (IgMkappa) (PubMed:11290595).
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11290595, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9163349}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9163349}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the snaclec family. {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- CAUTION: The name echicetin has been given to 2 different proteins,
CC       this one from E.carinatus sochureki and another one for which the
CC       subspecies has not been specified (E.carinatus). Most experiments have
CC       been done on E.carinatus sochureki. {ECO:0000305}.
