General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.1.1.4 physiological function acidic PLA2-II, in contrast to the basic Asp49 counterparts present in the same venom, lacks myotoxic, cytotoxic, and anticoagulant activities. It does not show hypotensive and anti-platelet aggregation activities and is not lethal to mice at intravenous doses up to 100 microg (5.9 microg/g), indicating its lack of neurotoxic activity. It shows a moderate induction of local edema in vivo. Acidic PLA2-II does not play a key role in the pathophysiology of envenomings, its purpose may be restricted to digestive functions. Acidic and basic PLA2s form two different antigenic groups in venom Bothrops asper
