Rattlesnake venom gland proteins

摘要

Due to their biological activity, snake venom proteins have found a variety of uses in therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Zsnk proteins are C-type lectin proteins expressed in the venom gland of the pigmy rattlesnake (Sistrurus miliarius). This species is a member of the Viperidae, a snake family known for producing venom that affects the blood coagulation and platelet aggregation system.
