Therapeutic Potential of Krait Venom
Toxicon, 2017Kraits belong to Elapideae and are widely distributed in East and South-East Asian countries. Krait venom possesses neurotoxins, membrane toxins, cardiotoxins, three finger toxins, metalloproteinases, cholinesterases, L-amino acid oxidases and serine proteases.

Is melanism adaptive in sea kraits?
Amphibia-Reptilia, 2008Abstract Ontogenic melanism (progressive darkening of the skin) has been documented in snakes. Black coloration of the skin often compromises the cryptic effects associated with other patterns (e.g. zigzags) and exposes individuals to predation; however, the mortality risk can be balanced, for example by a ...

Envenoming by Chinese krait (Bungarus multicinctus) and banded krait (B. fasciatus) in Myanmar
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997A retrospective study of 8 cases of envenoming by Chinese krait (Bungarus multicinctus) and one banded krait (B. fasciatus) in southern Myanmar is reported. Chinese krait bite produced minimal local reactions, except in one person bitten on the lip which resulted in local swelling.

Decreased Parasympathetic Activities in Malayan Krait (Bungarus candidus) Envenoming
Toxicon, 2001Three patients were bitten by the Malayan krait (Bungarus candidus). The patients developed ptosis and generalized muscle weakness which later progressed to respiratory paralysis. All patients showed evidence of decreased parasympathetic activity manifested by mydriasis, hypertension and tachycardia. No specific antivenom was available.

Differentially Expressed snoRNAs inBungarus Multicinctus(Taiwan Banded Krait)
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1998Twenty novel snoRNAs forming extensive sequence complementarities to mature 5S rRNA were identified from Bungarus multicinctus by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. It was found that the snoRNA species were differentially transcribed in different tissues as evidenced by single stranded conformational polymorphism analysis and direct ...

KChIP3: A binding protein for Taiwan banded krait β-bungarotoxin
Toxicon, 2006Using B1 chain of beta-bungarotoxin (beta-Bgt) as bait in yeast two-hybrid screen, we found that KChIP3 was a binding protein of B1 chain. Thus, protein-protein interaction between beta-Bgt and KChIP3 is investigated in the present study. Pull-down assay showed that recombinant KChIP3 proteins were associated with beta-Bgt as well as B1 chain, whereas ...
