Loxosceles intermedia
(Brown spider)
(taxid:58218)
Venom composition
Figure 1: Composition of L.intermedia venom, studied at the transcriptomic level (
Gremski et al., 2010
). The venom contains the following families: LiTx3-related, LiTx, peptidase M12A (astacin-like metalloprotease),
SicTox (arthropod phospholipase D)
, neurotoxin-Magi 3-like,
serine protease
,
TCTP (translationally controlled tumor protein)
, allergen,
hyaluronidase (glycosyl hydrolase 56)
and serine protease inhibitor.
