Pharmacological target of venom proteins

This page gives the list of channel/receptor families that are targeted by venom proteins and an access to these venom proteins. A detailed information on these families is available by clicking on the "channel/receptor family" blue hyperlink, while clicking on the logo image permits to retrieve venom protein(s) of interest in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot. Dashes indicate that no venom protein has been described yet to target the channel/receptor family.

The column "Channel/Receptor Human" of the table permits an access to human channel/receptor entries of UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot.
