A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease (ADAM): Historical Overview of Their Functions
Since the discovery of the first disintegrin protein from snake venom and the following identification of a mammalian membrane-anchored metalloprotease-disintegrin implicated in fertilization, almost three decades of studies have identified additional ...

Aprobation of platelet aggregation inhibitor from Echis multisquamatis snake venom in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo [PDF]
Snake venom-derived platelet aggregation inhibitors can be promising antiplatelet medications that can allow to avoid the risk of bleeding and treatment resistance, particularly in aspirin-resistant patients.

Ex vivo STUDY OF THE ACTION OF INTEGRIN RECEPTORS ANTAGONIST FROM ECHIS MULTISQUAMATIS SNAKE VENOM ON PLATELETS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WITH COMPICATIONS DURING GESTATION [PDF]
Aim. In our work, we studied platelet aggregation in blood plasma of pregnant women and estimated the possibility of ex vivo normalization of aggregation rate using a polypeptide from the Echis multisquamatus snake venom.

Effects of Blocking αvβ3 integrin by a recombinant RGD disintegrin on remodeling of wound healing after induction of incisional hernia in rats [PDF]
PURPOSE: Incisional hernia (IH) is characterized by defective wound healing process. Disba-01, a αvb3 integrin blocker has shown to control the rate of wound repair and therefore it could be a target for new wound healing therapies.The objective of the ...

ADAM and ADAMTS Family Proteins and Snake Venom Metalloproteinases: A Structural Overview
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family proteins constitute a major class of membrane-anchored multidomain proteinases that are responsible for the shedding of cell-surface protein ectodomains, including the latent forms of growth factors ...

A Novel Venom-Derived Peptide for Brachytherapy of Glioblastoma: Preclinical Studies in Mice
We developed a bacterial expression system to produce a recombinant disintegrin, vicrostatin (VCN), whose structure is based on a natural disintegrin isolated from southern copperhead snake venom.
