abstract="Ammodytoxin A (AtxA) is the most toxic secreted phospholipase A(2) of the three isotoxins with presynaptic neurotoxicity, isolated from the venom of the nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes ammodytes), with an LD(50) of 21 μg/kg in mice. The toxic potencies of two other isoforms have been re-evaluated using highly purified recombinant proteins, with their intraperitoneal LD(50)s determined as 960 μg/kg for AtxB and 310 μg/kg for AtxC. AtxB and AtxC differ from AtxA in only three and two amino acid residues, respectively.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
