SAHS2

Gene
SAHS2
Protein
Secretory-abundant heat soluble protein 2
Organism
Ramazzottius varieornatus
Length
174 amino acids
Function
Secreted heat soluble protein acting as a molecular shield in water-deficient condition (PubMed:22937162). Tardigrade-specific intrinsically disordered proteins (TDPs) are essential for desiccation tolerance by forming non-crystalline amorphous solids upon desiccation, and this vitrified state mirrors their protective capabilities (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the Secretory-abundant heat soluble protein (SAHS) family.
