Functional diversity of secreted cestode Kunitz proteins: Inhibition of serine peptidases and blockade of cation channels.
We previously reported a multigene family of monodomain Kunitz proteins from Echinococcus granulosus (EgKU-1-EgKU-8), and provided evidence that some EgKUs are secreted by larval worms to the host interface. In addition, functional studies and homology modeling suggested that, similar to monodomain...
