Exploring the Diversity and Function of Serine Proteases in Toxicofera Reptile Venoms: A Comprehensive Overview

Toxicofera reptile venoms are composed of several toxins, including serine proteases. These proteases are glycosylated enzymes that affect the prey's hemostatic system. Their actions extend across the coagulation cascade, the kallikrein-kinin system, and platelet activation. Despite their speci...
