Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues

2: Hemopressin acts as an antagonist peptide of the cannabinoid receptor CNR1 (PubMed:18077343). Hemopressin-binding efficiently blocks cannabinoid receptor CNR1 and subsequent signaling (PubMed:18077343)
