Figure 1: Composition of the Turkish
Vipera transcaucasiana
, studied at the proteomic level (
Hempel et al., 2018
); quantified by the snake venomics approach (C18-RP-HPLC 214nm + 1D SDS PAGE densiometry)
The venom contains the following families:
PLA2 (
phospholipase A2
),
VEGF
, svSP (
serine protease
), svMP (
metalloproteinase
), LAAO (
L-amino acid oxidase
), Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (
CRISP
), CTL/Snaclec (
C-type lectin related protein
), PDE (
phosphodiesterase
), svMP-i (
tripeptic svMP inhibitors of pHpG
), BPP (

), NP (
natriuretic peptide
) as well as further peptides and not annotated proteins.
