First transcriptome analysis of the venom glands of the scorpion Hottentotta zagrosensis (Scorpions: Buthidae) with focus on venom lipolysis activating peptides

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionScorpion venom is a rich source of biological active peptides and proteins. Transcriptome analysis of the venom gland provides detailed insights about peptide and protein venom components. Following the transcriptome analysis of different species in our previous studies, our research team has focused on the Hottentotta zagrosensis as one of
