Ice-binding protein

UniProtKB accession:  C7F6X3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Confers freeze tolerance. Binds to the surface of ice crystals and inhibits their growth. Has low thermal hysteresis (TH) activity, which is the ability to lower the freezing point of an aqueous solution below its melting point (PubMed:24699650, PubMed:22303017, PubMed:20067781, PubMed:22426061, PubMed:23203635, PubMed:22622645). The TH activity of this protein is approximately 0.2 degrees Celsius at 50 uM and 0.3 degrees Celsius at 400 uM (PubMed:24699650).
