Snake venom metalloproteinases and disintegrins: interactions with cells [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 Metalloproteinases and disintegrins are important components of most viperid and crotalid venoms. Large metalloproteinases referred to as MDC enzymes are composed of an N-terminal Metalloproteinase domain, a Disintegrin-like domain and a Cys-rich C-terminus.

Free Energy Calculations on Snake Venom Metalloproteinase BaP1 [PDF]
Chemical Biology & Drug Design, 2012 BaP1 is a snake venom metalloproteinase from the venom of Bothrops asper, showing high structural homology with the catalytic domain of human adamalysins and matrix metalloproteinases. It induces the release of cytokines, like interleukin‐1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha.

Venom-related transcripts from Bothrops jararaca tissues provide novel molecular insights into the production and evolution of snake venom. [PDF]
, 2014 Attempts to reconstruct the evolutionary history of snake toxins in the context of their co-option to the venom gland rarely account for nonvenom snake genes that are paralogous to toxins, and which therefore represent important connectors to ancestral ...

Leucurogin, a new recombinant disintegrin cloned from Bothrops leucurus (white-tailed-jararaca) with potent activity upon platelet aggregation and tumor growth [PDF]
, 2011 Disintegrins and disintegrins-like proteins are able to inhibit platelet aggregation and integrin-mediated cell adhesion. the aim of this study was to produce one disintegrin-like cloned from Bothrops leucurus venom gland and to characterize it regarding

Involvement of Nitric Oxide on Bothropoides insularis Venom Biological Effects on Murine Macrophages In Vitro [PDF]
, 2016 Viperidae venom has several local and systemic effects, such as pain, edema, inflammation, kidney failure and coagulopathy. Additionally, bothropic venom and its isolated components directly interfere on cellular metabolism, causing alterations such as ...
