Platelet factor 4 (Q9Z126)

Uniprot ID Q9Z126
Protein Name Platelet factor 4
Gene Name Pf4
Species Mus musculus (Mouse)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b) 0.905
Function Released during platelet aggregation. Neutralizes the anticoagulant effect of heparin because it binds more strongly to heparin than to the chondroitin-4-sulfate chains of the carrier molecule. Chemotactic for neutrophils and monocytes. Inhibits endothelial cell proliferation (By similarity). .

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
