The scorpion Toxin Tf2 from Tityus fasciolatus Promotes Nav1.3 opening [PDF]
, 2015 We identified Tf2, the first β-scorpion toxin from the venom of the Brazilian scorpion Tityus fasciolatus. Tf2 is identical to Tb2-II found in Tityus bahiensis.We found that Tf2 selectively activates human (h)Nav1.3, a neuronal voltage-gated sodium (Nav)

Proteínas do soro sanguíneo de cães inoculados com veneno de Tityus serrulatus
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2012 Protein profile of twelve healthy adult dogs averaging 14.2±5.4kg was evaluated after the inoculation of yellow scorpion venom (Tityus serrulatus). The animals were randomly divided in two experimental groups (G) (n= 6): GI control, which received 0.5mL ...

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2006 The preferred temperature of the yellow scorpion Tityus serrulatus was investigated since its dispersion is a matter of concern. Adult T. serrulatus, weighing 1.24 + 0.20 g (mean + sd) and with a standard length of 59.3 + 2.5 mm, were used.
