Figure 9From: A transcriptomic analysis of gene expression in the venom gland of the snake Bothrops alternatus (urutu)Distribution of metalloproteinase transcripts in the B. alternatus venom gland library. The frequency (%) of transcripts similar to other known metalloproteinases is shown. Transcripts with very low frequencies (< 0.2%; not shown) included those similar to vascular apoptosis-inducing protein 2A, jararhagin precursor, contortrostatin and halystatin. BLAST only against nr hits with protein.Back to article page
