l-amino acid oxidases are widely found in snake venoms and are thought to contribute to the
toxicity upon envenomation. The mechanism of these toxic effects and whether they result …

Snake envenomation employs three well integrated strategies: prey immobilization via
hypotension, prey immobilization via paralysis, and prey digestion. Purines (adenosine …

The Handbook of Venoms and Toxins of Reptiles offers" one-stop shopping" to all biologists,

As one of the major protein (enzyme) components of snake venom (SV), l-amino acid
oxidase (LAAO) plays an important role in the toxicities and biological activities for SV …

Toxicities of crude venoms from 49 coral snake (Micrurus sp.) populations, representing 15
nominal taxa, were examined in both laboratory mice and in native prey animals and …

Interleukin-4–induced gene 1 (IL4I1) was first described as a B-cell IL4-inducible gene and
is highly expressed in primary mediastinal B-cell lymphomas. We established stable …

The complexity of Viperid venoms has long been appreciated by investigators in the fields of
toxinology and medicine. However, it is only recently that the depth of that complexity has …

Background Multifunctional l-amino acid oxidases (LAAOs) occur widely in snake venoms.
