CYSTEINE-RICH SECRETORY PROTEINS (CRISPS) FROM VENOMOUS SNAKES: AN OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY IN A LARGE AND UNDERAPPRECIATED SUPERFAMILY

Cysteine-Rich Secretory Proteins (CRISPs) from Venomous Snakes: An Overview of the Functional Diversity in a Large and Underappreciated Superfamily

The CAP protein superfamily (Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs), Antigen 5 (Ag5), and Pathogenesis-related 1 (PR-1) proteins) is widely distributed, but for toxinologists, snake venom CRISPs are the most familiar members.Although CRISPs are found in the majority of venoms, very few of these proteins have been functionally characterized, but
