Characterization and Recombinant Expression of Terebrid Venom Peptide from Terebra guttata

Characterization and Recombinant Expression of Terebrid Venom Peptide from Terebra guttata

Venom peptides found in terebrid snails expand the toolbox of active compounds that can be applied to investigate cellular physiology and can be further developed as future therapeutics. However, unlike other predatory organisms, such as snakes, terebrids produce very small quantities of venom, maki...
