A weak and reversibly acting neurotoxic protein of Laticauda semifasciata venom, Laticauda semifasciata III (component LsIII), was sequenced. Component LsIII consists of 66 amino acid residues and has five disulphide bridges, one of which was located between residues 26 and 30. The weak and reversible neurotoxicity of component LsIII is discussed in relation to its structure, which falls between those of the neuro- and cardiotoxins of sea snakes and Elapidae snakes isolated and sequenced so far.
对半环扁尾海蛇毒液中一种作用较弱且可逆的神经毒性蛋白——半环扁尾海蛇III(组分LsIII)进行了测序。组分LsIII由66个氨基酸残基组成,有五个二硫键,其中一个位于第26和30位残基之间。结合其结构对组分LsIII较弱且可逆的神经毒性进行了讨论,其结构介于迄今分离并测序的海蛇和眼镜蛇科蛇类的神经毒素和心脏毒素之间。
