Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) represent a diverse group of multi-domain
proteins with several biological activities such as the ability to induce hemorrhage …

Recent proteomic analyses of snake venoms show that metalloproteinases represent major
components in most of the Crotalid and Viperid venoms. In this chapter we discuss the …

Snake venoms are cocktails of enzymes and non‐enzymatic proteins used for both the
immobilization and digestion of prey. The most common snake venom enzymes include …

Since the discovery of the first disintegrin protein from snake venom and the following
identification of a mammalian membrane-anchored metalloprotease-disintegrin implicated …

Snake venom metalloproteases, in addition to their contribution to the digestion of the prey,
affect various physiological functions by cleaving specific proteins. They exhibit their …

Hemorrhage is one of the most significant effects in envenomings induced by viperid
snakebites. Damage to the microvasculature, induced by snake venom metalloproteinases …

Metalloproteinases are among the most abundant toxins in many Viperidae venoms. Snake
venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are the primary factors responsible for hemorrhage and …

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family proteins constitute a major class of
membrane-anchored multidomain proteinases that are responsible for the shedding of cell …

Venomic analysis of the venoms of Naja nigricollis, N. katiensis, N. nubiae, N. mossambica,
and N. pallida revealed similar compositional trends. The high content of cytotoxins and …

Abstract Background The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is widely distributed throughout
many parts of Asia. This study aims to investigate the complexity of Malaysian Ophiophagus …
