Venom composition

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).
