Abstract excerpt
Several types of disintegrins have been isolated from Crotalus spp rattlesnakes, including RGD disintegrins, and PIII-SVMPs. We isolated six cDNAs from snake venom glands using RT-PCR. Three RGD disintegrins (atroxatin, mojastin, and viridistatin) and three PIII-SVMPs (catroriarin, scutiarin, and viristiarin) cDNAs were isolated from the rattlesnakes Crotalus atrox, Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus, and Crotalus...
