Salivary lipocalin family proteins from , a vector of Chagas disease.

The dataset in this report is related to the research article with the title: "Salivary gland transcripts of the kissing bug, , a vector of Chagas disease" (Kato et al., 2017) [1]. Lipocalin family proteins were identified as the dominant component in saliva, and phylogenetic analysis of the salivary lipocalins resulted in the formation of five major clades. For further characterization, each clade of lipocalin was s alignment and phylogenetic analyses together with homologous triatomine lipocalins; pallidipin 2, an inhibitor of collagen-induced platelet aggregation identified from saliva of (clade I), pallidipin-like salivary lipocalin from (clade II), salivary lipocalin from (clade III), triatin-like salivary lipocalin identified in the saliva of (clade IV), and lipocalin-like TiLipo37 from (clade V).
