Figure 1: Venom composition of Heterometrus petersii studied at the transcriptomic level. All families (α-KTX, κ-KTX, calcine, scorpine-like peptide, cytolytic peptide, opistoporin-like peptide (see opistoporin entry ), pandinin2-like peptide (see pandinin-2 entry ), La1-like peptide (see La1 entry ), PLA2 (phospholipase A2 ), serine protease (peptidase S1 ), acid phosphatase, diuretic peptide, 8 Cys orphan peptide, salivary protein, 2 Cys orphan peptide), except 3 (3 Cys orphan peptide, GY-rich peptide, cuticle protein) have been detected by mass spectrometry (Ma et al., 2010 ).
