1. Proteomic analysis of the venom of the social wasp Apoica pallens (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
ABSTRACT Wasps are a diverse group of insects that possess a sting apparatus associated with a venom gland, which is used for predation and colony defense. The biochemistry of Hymenoptera venom has been evaluated in relation to allergy and immunology, and proteomics has been shown to be a powerful tool for the identification of compounds with pharmacological

2. A Histological Study on Venom Apparatus of Montivipera xanthina (Gray, 1849) (Serpentes, Viperidae)
ABSTRACT This is the first report describing morphological and histological structure of venom apparatus in Montivipera xanthina. The venom gland apparatus of M. xanthina was composed of four distinct parts, main venom gland, primary duct, accessory gland and secondary duct. The main venom gland was composed of acini. The accessory gland was formed by long a

3. Molecular cloning of a hyaluronidase from Bothrops pauloensis venom gland
Background Hyaluronate is one of the major components of extracellular matrix from vertebrates whose breakdown is catalyzed by the enzyme hyaluronidase. These enzymes are widely described in snake venoms, in which they facilitate the spreading of the main toxins in the victim’s body during the envenoming. Snake venoms also present some variants (hyaluron

4. Mad, bad and dangerous to know: the biochemistry, ecology and evolution of slow loris venom
Only seven types of mammals are known to be venomous, including slow lorises (Nycticebus spp.). Despite the evolutionary significance of this unique adaptation amongst Nycticebus, the structure and function of slow loris venom is only just beginning to be understood. Here we review what is known about the chemical structure of slow loris venom. Research on a

5. Explorando as interações hospedeiro-parasitoide para a identificação de moléculas com potencial biotecnológico / Exploiting the host parasitoid interactions for the identification of molecules with biotechnological potential
Parasitoides criam condições favoráveis para seu desenvolvimento regulando processos fisiológicos do hospedeiro via a utilização de moléculas produzidas por tecidos maternos ou por tecidos derivados do parasitoide imaturo ou de simbiontes associados (vírus de poliDNA - PDV). Assim, essas moléculas se destacam como uma fonte preciosa para o desenvolv

6. Análise da expressão gênica diferencial das glândulas de veneno de Bothrops jararaca (Serpentes: Viperidae) / Analysis of differential gene expression of the venom gland of Bothrops jararaca (Serpentes: Viperidae)
A glândula de veneno da serpente Bothrops jararaca é uma glândula exócrina relacionada a glândula salivar dos mamíferos. Diferentemente de outras glândulas exócrinas, esta possui um lúmen central no qual o veneno produzido fica estocado. Os mecanismos envolvidos na regulação da síntese e secreção de toxinas pela glândula de veneno são pouco c

7. Caracterização funcional e estrutural de uma nova fosfolipase A2 ácida de Bothrops moojeni / Functional and structural characterization of a new acidic phospholipase A2 from Bothrops moojeni
The phospholipase A2 (PLA2s) are enzymes that induce various pharmacological effects and usually correspond to a higher percentage of the protein content of snake venoms. Thus, isolation, biochemical, functional and structural characterization of PLA2s may generate important information for a better understanding of the pharmacological effects and toxicity i

8. A novel lipocalin homologue from the venom gland of Deinagkistrodon acutus similar to mammalian lipocalins
Lipocalins are involved in a variety of functions including retinol transport, cryptic coloration, olfaction, pheromone transport, prostaglandin synthesis, regulation of the immune response and cell homeostatic mediation. A full-length cDNA clone (named d-lipo), isolated from the venom gland cDNA library of Deinagkistrodon acutus, contained an insert of 664

9. Antibacterial properties of contact defensive secretions in neotropical Crematogaster ants
Crematogaster ants use their contact venoms to compete with other ants. Although those venoms are used primarily as repellent and toxic secretions, they may have other functions. The present study aimed to test the antibacterial property of abdominal venom of three neotropical Crematogaster ant species (C. distans, C. pygmaea and C. rochai) against gram-nega

10. Transcriptoma da glândula venenífera da serpente Bothrops alternatus (urutu) e caracterização molecular e bioquímica parcial da dipeptidilpeptidase IV / Venom gland transcriptomic of the snake Bothrops alternatus (urutu) and partial molecular and biochemical characterization of the dipeptidyl peptidase IV
O estudo do transcriptoma de bibliotecas de cDNA da glândula venenífera de serpentes, realizado a partir da análise de ESTs (expressed sequence tags), tem se mostrado útil na identificação de genes expressos neste tecido, inclusive no gênero Bothrops, responsável pela maioria dos acidentes ofídicos no Brasil. Neste trabalho utilizamos uma abordagem

11. Glândula acessória e ducto primário de serpente Bothrops jararaca durante o ciclo de produção de veneno: um estudo morfológico. / Acessory gland and primary duct of the Bothrops jararaca snake during the venom production cycle: a morphological study.
The accessory gland (AG) and the primary duct (PD) are components of the venom gland apparatus of Bothrops jararaca snake. There are few studies about AG and PD and there is still controversy on whether the secretions released by these regions can modify the total venom. Our results show that AG presents simple secretory epithelium with mucous secretory cell

12. Efeitos de uma desintegrina RGD recombinante de Rhinocerophis alternatus (Bothrops alternatus) na migração de células normais e tumorais
Cell migration, invasion of the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and proliferation are cellular processes involved in metastases. These events are mediated by integrins, adhesion receptors present on cell surfaces and responsible for the extracellular matrix and cells binding. Disintegrins, snake venoms polypeptides, are known to inhibit integrins action,
