NCIt synonyms : Thrombocidin 2; Platelet Basic Protein; PPBP; Thrombocidin 1; CXC Chemokine Ligand 7;
NCIt definition : A product of the PPBP gene, pro-platelet basic protein is processed into platelet
basic protein (PBP) and connective-tissue-activating peptide III (CTAP-III). Upon
platelet activation these proteins undergo further processing into beta thromboglobulin
(Beta-TG) and neutrophil-activating peptide 2 (NAP2), respectively. Many of the function
ascribed to CTAP-III may actually be the result of processing to NAP-2.;
