Description & Applications

Product Description

Bothrops jararacussu venom is exceptionally rich in myotoxic Phospholipase A2 variants, specifically Bothropstoxin-I (K49-PLA2) and Bothropstoxin-II (D49-PLA2). These are classic tools for studying muscle necrosis.

Research Applications

  • Muscle Physiology: Mechanisms of PLA2-induced myotoxicity.
  • Structural Biology: Comparison of catalytically active vs. inactive PLA2 homologues.
