| cobra venoms | Venoms from snakes of the genus naja (family elapidae). They contain many specific proteins that have cytotoxic, haemolytic, neurotoxic, and other properties. Like other elapid venoms, they are rich in enzymes. They include cobramines and cobralysins. (12 Dec 1998) |

| cobra | A genus of poisonous snakes of the subfamily elapinae of the family elapidae. There are six recognised species, all inhabiting africa except the asiatic (indian) cobra, naja naja. Some species "spit" their venom into the eyes of their "enemies". So-called spitting cobras show a high degree of accuracy in aiming for the eyes. The ringhals, the most highly specialised of the spitting cobras, is limited to southern africa. Its spray destroys eye tissue and can cause blindness; its bite can cause death. (moore: poisonous snakes of the world, 1980, p80) (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| cobra neurotoxins | Toxins, contained in cobra (naja) venom that block cholinergic receptors; two specific proteins have been described, the small (short, type I) and the large (long, type II) which also exist in other elapid venoms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cobra toxin | A polypeptide of 62 residues; action on cells is similar to that of melittin in that it promotes disruption of membranes; used as an investigational antirheumatic agent. Synonym: cobra toxin, direct lytic factor of cobra venom. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cobra venom cofactor | <enzyme> A glycine-rich, heat-labile beta-glycoprotein found in blood. It is a proactivator of complement 3 in the alternate pathway of complement activation. Factor b is converted by factor d to c3 convertase. Registry number: EC 3.4.21.47 (12 Dec 1998) |
| cobra venom factor | A component of cobra venom that renders C3 proactivator (properdin factor B) susceptible to factor D of the properdin system, leading to activation of C3 and other components of complement and lysis of unsensitised erythrocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| direct lytic factor of cobra venom | A polypeptide of 62 residues; action on cells is similar to that of melittin in that it promotes disruption of membranes; used as an investigational antirheumatic agent. Synonym: cobra toxin, direct lytic factor of cobra venom. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amphibian venoms | Venoms produced by frogs, toads, salamanders, etc. The venom glands are usually on the skin of the back and contain cardiotoxic glycosides, cholinolytics, and a number of other bioactive materials, many of which have been characterised. The venoms have been used as arrow poisons and include bufogenin, bufotoxin, bufagin, bufotalin, histrionicotoxins, and pumiliotoxin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ant venoms | Venoms from the superfamily formicoidea, ants. They may contain protein factors and toxins, histamine, enzymes, and alkaloids and are often allergenic or immunogenic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arthropod venoms | Venoms from animals of the phylum arthropoda. Those most investigated are from scorpions and spiders of the class arachnidae and from ant, bee, and wasp families of the insecta order hymenoptera. The venoms contain protein toxins, enzymes, and other bioactive substances and may be lethal to man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bee venoms | Venoms obtained from apis mellifera (honey bee) and related species. They contain various enzymes, polypeptide toxins, and other substances, some of which are allergenic or immunogenic or both. These venoms were formerly used in rheumatism to stimulate the pituitary-adrenal system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| venoms | Poisonous animal secretions forming fluid mixtures of many different enzymes, toxins, and other substances. These substances are produced in specialised glands and secreted through specialised delivery systems (nematocysts, spines, fangs, etc.) for disabling prey or predator. (12 Dec 1998) |
| viper venoms | Venoms from snakes of the viperid family. They tend to be less toxic than elapid or hydrophid venoms and act mainly on the vascular system, interfering with coagulation and capillary membrane integrity and are highly cytotoxic. They contain large amounts of several enzymes, other factors, and some toxins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cnidarian venoms | Venoms from jellyfish, coral, sea anemone, nematocysts, etc. They contain haemo-, cardio-, dermo- , and neurotoxic substances and probably enzymes. They include palytoxin, sarcophine, and anthopleurine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mollusk venoms | Venoms from mollusks, including the conus and octopus species. The venoms contain proteins, enzymes, choline derivatives, slow-reacting substances, and several characterised polypeptide toxins that affect the nervous system. Mollusk venoms include cephalotoxin, venerupin, maculotoxin, surugatoxin, conotoxins, and murexine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| wasp venoms | Venoms produced by the wasp (vespid) family of stinging insects, including hornets; the venoms contain enzymes, biogenic amines, histamine releasing factors, kinins, toxic polypeptides, etc., and are similar to bee venoms. (12 Dec 1998) |
