Protected: Isolation & Characterization of Novel Proteins with Anticoagulant Activity from the Venom of Omani Saw Scaled Viper (Echis omanesis)
Snake venoms are complex mixtures of pharmacologically active polypeptide and proteins. (1, 2) Venom isolated from a single species may contain about 100 different proteins, which belong to specific protein families. Several toxinomics venom proteins have been isolated from the Echis genus for example; ecarin, echistatin, disintegrin heterodimer, schistatin, acidic phospholipid-A2 [PLA2], echicetin, ecarpholin-S, EC3-heterodimeric disintegrin and carinactivase [CA-1]. (3) Even in the same snake species considerable variability is observed in the content of the venom that can be attributed to geographical isolation and variability in the diet.(4)
