Phospholipase B activity of a purified phospholipase A from Vipera palestinae venom.
Phospholipase was isolated (in two fractions) from Vipera palestinae venom and it was shown to possess phospholipase A activity (hydrolyzing diacyl-sn-glycerophosphorylcholines, e.g., lecithin, in the 2-position) as well as lysophospholipase (phospholipase B) activity (hydrolyzing 1-monoacyl-sn-glycerophosphorylcholines, e.g., lysolecithin, yielding free fatty acid and glycerophosphorylcholine)...
متن کاملPharmacological Aspects of Vipera xantina palestinae Venom
In Israel, Vipera xantina palestinae (V.x.p.) is the most common venomous snake, accounting for several hundred cases of envenomation in humans and domestic animals every year, with a mortality rate of 0.5 to 2%. In this review we will briefly address the research developments relevant to our present understanding of the structure and function of V.x.p. venom with emphasis on venom disintegrins...
متن کاملAnalysis of nociceptive effects of neurotoxic phospholipase A2 from Vipera nikolskii venom in mice
Phospholipases A2 are represented in snake venoms by several types and possess diverse biological activities including neurotoxicity. Previously, we isolated and characterized two neurotoxic phospholipases A2 (HDP-1 and HDP-2) from the venom of Nikolski's viper (Vipera nikolskii), which were heterodimers composed of two non-covalently bound subunits. Each heterodimer consisted of an enzymatical...
متن کاملHemolytic Assay for Venom Phospholipase A
A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric assay for venom phospholipase A2 based on the hemolysis of guinea pig erythrocytes in the presence of decomplemented serum and cardiotoxin (direct lytic factor) is described. This assay is particularly useful for rapid multisample analyses, such as those used in monitoring chromatography fractions, and is specific for phospholipase A2 in the presence of ...
متن کاملVixapatin (VP12), a C-Type Lectin-Protein from Vipera xantina palestinae Venom: Characterization as a Novel Anti-angiogenic Compound
A C-type lectin-like protein (CTL), originally identified as VP12 and lately named Vixapatin, was isolated and characterized from Israeli viper Vipera xantina palestinae snake venom. This CTL was characterized as a selective α2β1 integrin inhibitor with anti-melanoma metastatic activity. The major aim of the present study was to prove the possibility that this protein is also a potent novel ant...
