PROTEINS OF PAROTOID GLAND SECRETIONS FROM TOADS OF THE GENUS BUFO [PDF]
, 2000 Freeze-dried parotoid gland secretions from toads of the genus Bufo contained large proportions of protein (25-35% by weight). SDS-PAGE suggested that secretions from several species of Bufo contained mixtures of proteins in the relative molecular mass ...

Two related thrombin-like enzymes present in Bothrops atrox venom
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000 This article describes the presence of two new forms of a thrombin-like enzyme, both with apparent molecular masses of 38 kDa, in Bothrops atrox venom. Both share the ability to cleave fibrinogen into fibrin and to digest casein.

Expression of the First Recombinant Anti-Tumoral Snake Venom Kunitz-Type Serine Protease Inhibitor
Toxins, 2022 PIVL is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor that was previously characterized from Tunisian snake venom, Macrovipera lebetina transmediterranea. It reduced glioblastoma cells’ development and significantly blocked angiogenesis in in-vitro and ex-vivo

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2007 Purification of a lectin from Bothrops jararacussu venom (BjcuL) was carried out using agarose-D-galactose affinity gel. MALDI-TOF gave a major signal at m/z 32028, suggesting the presence of a dimmer composed of two identical subunits.

Venomous secretions from marine snails of the Terebridae family target acetylcholine receptors [PDF]
, 2013 Venoms from cone snails (Conidae) have been extensively studied during the last decades, but those from other members of the suborder Toxoglossa, such as of Terebridae and Turridae superfamilies attracted less interest so far. Here, we report the effects
