Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1794-1803, February 2020., 2020 Toxin complexity in the alien coral Tubastraea coccinea is conserved and co‐evolved with innovation of the venom delivery system. Morphological development of the coral and phenotypic expression of the venom and delivery system is not modulated by habitat pressures over short periods of time.

Hyaluronidase: the spreading factor of Tityus serrulatus venom [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The hyaluronidase enzyme is generally known as a spreading factor in animal venoms. Although its activity has been demonstrated in several organisms, a deeper knowledge about hyaluronidase and the venom spreading process from the bite/sting site until its elimination from the victim's body is still in need.

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)
