Main toxic components from Latrodectus pallidus venom: Isolation and partial structural characterization

Toxic components of the Latrodectus pallidus spider venom were isolated and characterized. The venom was shown to contain a toxin specific for mammals and at least one insectospecific toxin. Partial amino acid sequences of both toxins were determined, and their high structural homology with previously studied α-latrotoxin and α-latroinsectotoxin from L. mactans tredecimguttatus was found. © 1997 MAEe cyrillic signK Hayκa/Interperiodica Publishing.
