Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Non-cytotoxic protein that does not show lytic and hemolytic activities, but can induce aggregation and fusion of sphingomyelin vesicles (PubMed:8182052). It binds to integrin alpha-V/beta-3 (ITGAV/ITGB3) with high affinity, and it inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in mice, probably due to binding to integrin alpha-V/beta-3 (PubMed:16407244).
