Comparative Analysis of Prothrombin Activators from the Venom of Australian Elapids [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2005 A key component of the venom of many Australian snakes belonging to the elapid family is a toxin that is structurally and functionally similar to that of the mammalian prothrombinase complex. In mammals, this complex is responsible for the cleavage of prothrombin to thrombin and is composed of factor Xa in association with its cofactors calcium ...
