Cloning and characterisation of novel cystatins from elapid snake venom glands

Biochimie, 2011
Snake venoms contain a complex mixture of polypeptides that modulate prey homeostatic mechanisms through highly specific and targeted interactions. In this study we have identified and characterised cystatin-like cysteine-protease inhibitors from elapid snake venoms for the first time.

Three-finger toxins, a deadly weapon of elapid venom – Milestones of discovery

Toxicon, 2013
Three-finger toxins (TFTs) are the main venom components of snakes from Elapidae family. Amino acid sequences of more than five hundreds TFTs are determined; these toxins form one of the largest protein families present in snake venoms. The first TFT α-bungarotoxin was isolated almost half a century ago and so far it remains a valuable tool in the ...

Histology, histochemistry, and emptying mechanism of the venom glands of some elapid snakes

Journal of Morphology, 1967
AbstractThe venom glands of several species of elapid snakes are described. The main venom gland consists of many tubules which usually contain large amounts of secretion product. The accessory gland surrounds the entire venom duct and is usually composed of uniform mucous epithelium.
