Tityus serrulatus (Brazilian scorpion) (taxid:6887)

Venom composition image
Figure 1: Composition of T.serrulatus venom, studied at both proteomic (A) (Verano-Braga et al., 2013) and transcriptomic (B) (de Oliveira et al., 2018) levels. The venom contains the following families: sodium channel toxins (NaTx), potassium channel toxins (KTx), diuretic toxins (hypotensins), bradykinin potentiating peptides (BPPs), antimicrobial peptides (AMP), anticoagulant peptides, hyaluronidases, lipases (negligible), metalloproteinases, phospholipase A2 (PA2), phospholipase C (negligible), phospholipase D (negligible), other proteinases, CRISP, insulin-like growth factor proteins (negligible), anionic peptide, proteinase inhibitors, and conserved venom component. In B, families with an asterix (*) are those with peptides identified by proteomic analysis (de Oliveira et al., 2018).
Clinical Effects, Treatment, Antivenoms See the Clinical Toxinology Resources Website.
Lethal dose LD(50) is 0.99 mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection into mice (Santos da Silva et al., 2017).
