The venom proteome of Naja naja from Sindh, Pakistan was decomplexed utilizing reverse phase HPLC and SDS PAGE. The results were compared with already reported Naja naja species of the region. The banding pattern represents all the major families of proteins including three-finger toxins, phospholipase A2, snake venom metalloproteases, L-amino acid oxidases, phosphodiesterase, nucleotidases, cysteine-rich secretory proteins, serine proteases, nerve growth factor, cobra venom factor, acetylcholinesterases, Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitors and C-type lectin proteins. The decomplexation of the venom showed the best possible separation through RP-HPLC elution of venom components containing small peptides, small and large proteins based on hydrophobicity. The SDS PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions of HPLC fractions highlighted the presence of several proteins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
