Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that neurotoxic venom secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) have specific receptors in brain membranes called N-type receptors that are likely to play a role in the molecular events leading to neurotoxicity of these proteins. The sPLA2 found in honey bee venom is neurotoxic and binds to this receptor with high affinity. In this paper, we have used a number of mutants of bee venom sPLA2...
