P-I snake venom metalloproteinase is able to activate the complement system by direct cleavage of central components of the cascade. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
BACKGROUND: Snake Venom Metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are amongst the key enzymes that contribute to the high toxicity of snake venom. We have recently shown that snake venoms from the Bothrops genus activate the Complement system (C) by promoting direct ...
