- Current Insights in the Mechanisms of Cobra Venom Cytotoxins and Their . . .
In some African cobras, they comprise more than 70% of the venom proteome Being less toxic than cobra venom NTXs, CTXs act non-specifically, thereby affecting various tissues and organs in the body of the envenomed victim
- The myth of cobra venom cytotoxin: More than just direct cytolytic . . .
Cytotoxin is abundant in the cobra venom and undeniably plays a major role in causing local necrotic lesions at the wound site upon snakebite Cytotoxin exhibits differential cytotoxic effects in different cells
- Cobra Cytotoxins: Structural Organization and Antibacterial Activity
Cardiotoxins (cytotoxins, CT) are β-structured proteins isolated from the venom of cobra They consist of 59–61 amino acid residues, whose antiparallel chains form three ‘fingers’ In contrast to neurotoxins with an overall similar fold, CTs are amphiphilic
- Frontiers | Cytotoxicity of Snake Venoms and Cytotoxins From Two . . .
Venoms of cobras (Naja spp ) contain high abundances of cytotoxins, which contribute to tissue necrosis in cobra envenomation The tissue-necrotizing activity of cobra cytotoxins, nevertheless, indicates anticancer potentials

These low-molecular-mass toxins, contributing to about 40 to 60% of the cobra venom proteome, play a significant role in cobra venom-induced toxicity, more prominently in dermonecrosis
- Unveiling the functional epitopes of cobra venom cytotoxin by . . .
Approximate 70% of cobra venom is composed of cytotoxin (CTX), which is responsible for the dermonecrotic symptoms of cobra envenomation

Cobra, any of various species of highly venomous snakes, most of which expand the neck ribs to form a hood Cobras are found from southern Africa through southern Asia to islands of Southeast Asia
