Vipera berus berus ~ VenomZone

Venom composition

Figure 1: Composition of Vipera berus berus studied at the proteomic level from the Slovak Republic (Bocian et al., 2016); quantified by 2D SDS PAGE densiometry, Russia (Latinovic et al., 2016) as well as (Al-Shekhadat et al., 2019); both quantified by the snake venomics approach (C18-RP-HPLC 214nm + 1D SDS PAGE densiometry)

The venom contains the following families:
PLA2 (phospholipase A2), svSP (serine protease), svMP (metalloproteinase), LAAO (L-amino acid oxidase), Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISP), CTL/Snaclec (C-type lectin related protein), DI (disintegrin), VEGF and KUN (Kunitz-type inhibitor).
Additionally, as "other" labeled families: NGF, 5NUC (5'-nucleotidase), PDE (phosphodiesterase), HYAL (hyaluronidase), glutaminyl cylcase and renin-like aspartic protease; as well as peptides like svMP-i (tripeptic svMP inhibitors of pHpG), NP (natriuretic peptide) and further peptides and not annotated proteins.
