Novel Calcin peptides from Scorpion Venom Exhibit Humidity-Dependent Expression and Ryanodine Receptor Activation

2025-09-21

Abstract excerpt

Scorpions are venomous animals of considerable pharmacological potential, traditionally used in East Asia to treat cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases. However, geographical variations in the expression of their venom components remain poorly understood. We performed transcriptome profiling on scorpion samples collected from eight distinct climatic and environmental regions in East Asia, we successfully identif...
