Lizard venoms, particularly from the Heloderma genus, have yielded some of the most impactful peptide therapeutics in metabolic medicine. Venom Supplies provides authentic Heloderma horridum venom, a rich source of exendin peptides, kallikreins, and phospholipases. These reagents are pivotal for research into glucose homeostasis, GLP-1 receptor pharmacology, and nociception.
