Abstract excerpt
Phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) genes expressed in the venom glands of the sea snake, Laticauda semifasciata, were investigated. Both mRNAs, encoding group IA (without a pancreatic loop) and group IB (with pancreatic loop), were detected from venom glands by Northern blot hybridization analysis and RT-PCR. The results of quantitative PCR analysis indicated that the expression amount of group IA genes was around...
