Partial Purification and Characterization ofConus textile Venom Phosphodiesterase I

Ramon Miranda | Milagros Leano | Angelita Reyes

Discipline: veterinary sciences

 

Abstract:

Fish, other molluscs, and marine worms are Conus prey. Such variety leads one to expect that the Conus venom has several digestive enzymes. Proteases, acetylcholinesterases, phosphodiesterases, some nucleotidases and phospholipases have been reported.
