Snake venom is an intricate combination of proteins and peptides that has evolved as a chemical way to immobilize, kill, and digest prey. Variation in the composition of snake venoms has been commonly attributed to differences in age, season, diet, and environment, suggesting that these factors...
textilis and northern brown snake P. nuchalis, but surprisingly were not discovered in the venom of a related mammal-eating species, Ingrams brown snake P. ingrami. Expression of an alpha-neurotoxin that is toxic to rodents (pseudonajatoxin b) was profoundly down-regulated in Queensland P. ...
The conserved structure of snake venom toxins confers extensive immunological cross-reactivity to toxin-specific antibody R.A. Harrison,W. Wüster,R.D.G. Theakston - 《Toxicon》 - 2003 - 被引量: 281 Impact of regional variation in Bothrops asper snake venom on the design of antivenoms: integra...
(T2) on the gel constituted >90% of the total protein (exclusive protoxins) and is homologous to the cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 (CRISP3). CRISP3 is also referred to as venom allergen and is found in venom of, for example, cone snail, wasp, snake and lizard29,30. In the ...
There was little variation in the protein content between the snakes or within a single snake over the 14 months. Considerable variability was noted in the levels of enzymic activity in the individuals over the 14 months and this individual variability appears to be a far greater influencing ...

This study provides novel insights into the venom variability of V. kaznakovi and highlights the utility of intact mass profiling for fast and detailed comparison of snake venom. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Population level and ontogenetic venom variation (e.g. diet, habitat, sex or age) can result...
