Purification and Biochemical Characterization of TsMS 3 and TsMS 4: Neuropeptide-Degrading Metallopeptidases in the <i>Tityus serrulatus</i> Venom

Purification and Biochemical Characterization of TsMS 3 and TsMS 4: Neuropeptide-Degrading Metallopeptidases in the <i>Tityus serrulatus</i> Venom

Although omics studies have indicated presence of proteases on the <i>Tityus serrulatus</i> venom (TsV), little is known about the function of these molecules. The TsV contains metalloproteases that cleave a series of human neuropeptides, including the dynorphin A (1-13) and the members...
