Venomics: integrative venom proteomics and beyond
Biochemical Journal, 2017Venoms are integrated phenotypes that evolved independently in, and are used for predatory and defensive purposes by, a wide phylogenetic range of organisms. The same principles that contribute to the evolutionary success of venoms, contribute to making the study of venoms of great interest in such diverse fields as evolutionary ecology and ...

Unmasking venom gland transcriptomes in reptile venoms
Analytical Biochemistry, 2002While structural studies of reptile venom toxins can be achieved using lyophilized venom samples, until now the cloning of precursor cDNAs required sacrifice of the specimen for dissection of the venom glands. Here we describe a simple and rapid technique that unmasks venom protein mRNAs present in lyophilized venom samples. To illustrate the technique

Snake venoms are complex mixtures containing many different biologically active proteins and peptides. A number of these proteins act on components of the haemostatic system in humans. The paper focuses on those venom constituents that affect the blood coagulation pathway, endothelial cells and platelets. Several highly purified venom enzymes have been

Publisher Summary This chapter illustrates various types of venoms found in insects. Venoms are biologically active liquids delivered into or onto another organism through a piercing structure such as a mouthpart or sting apparatus and often resulting in pain, tissue damage, paralysis, or death in the target organism.

Toxins are produced by numerous microorganisms and invertebrates as well as by higher plants and animals. Venoms are produced by many groups of animals, from coelenterates to vertebrates. While toxins and venoms are the primary toxicological concern in natural ecosystems, they are frequently of importance in agroecosystems and in military deployments ...

Ant Venoms: A Study of Venom Diversity
1978Ant venoms appear to represent an almost untapped reservoir of information capable of adding several exciting chapters to the story of toxinology. Ants share with some bees and wasps the distinction of being the only truly social group of venomous animals. This fact implies that most of the venomous individuals belong to an essentially sterile class of

Venoms and Venom Glands of Marine Molluscs
1984The phylum Mollusca, consisting of about 100,000 living species, is divided into seven classes. Venom glands occur in molluscs belonging to the classes Gastropoda and Cephalopoda. Toxins acquired from the environment, such as paralytic shellfish poisons, are found in certain Pelecypoda (bivalves), but also some gastropods have been found to accumulate ...
