Description & Applications
Product Description
Deinagkistrodon acutus (Sharp-nosed Viper or Hundred Pacer) venom is characterized by its profound effects on the hemostatic system. It is a rich source of acutin, a thrombin-like serine protease that cleaves fibrinogen, and various metalloproteinases that cause hemorrhage and tissue necrosis.
Research Applications
- Coagulation Studies: Isolation of thrombin-like enzymes for defibrinogenation assays.
- Platelet Aggregation: Investigation of aggretin and other platelet-modulating peptides.
- Structural Biology: Source of snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) for structural characterization.
Quality Control
Venom Supplies ensures high enzymatic activity in every lot. Thrombin-like activity is verified using fibrinogen clotting assays.
