Structure-function relationship studies of ammodytoxins and ammodytins by protein engineering.

Acta chimica Slovenica

Pungerčar J, Znidaršič PP, Petan T.
PMID: 24061113
Acta Chim Slov. 2011 Dec;58(4):660-70.

Ammodytoxins (Atxs) and ammodytins (Atns) are group IIA phospholipases A2 (sPLA2s) and their homologues, secreted by venom glands of the nose-horned viper (Vipera a. ammodytes). The molecular mechanisms underlying their various pharmacological effects, including neurotoxicity, myotoxicity and anticoagulant activity,...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has no cure, mainly because of late diagnosis. Early diagnostic biomarkers are crucial. Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are hydrolases with several functions in the brain, nevertheless their deregulation contributes to neurodegeneration. We evaluated platelet total PLA2 activity...
