This review categorizes functionally validated actions of defined scorpion toxin (SCTX)
neuropeptides across ion channel subclasses, highlighting key trends in this rapidly …

Sixty-seven scorpion species have been described in France and its territories, where they
have been found to be heterogeneously distributed. Indeed, only one species can be found …

We characterized and compared the venom protein profiles of Hydrophis curtus (synonyms:
Lapemis hardwickii, Lapemis curtus and Hydrophis hardwickii) and Hydrophis cyanocinctus …

Scorpion venoms are natural sources of molecules that have, in addition to their toxic
function, potential therapeutic applications. In this source the neurotoxins can be found …

This study investigated geographic variability in the venom of Centruroides sculpturatus
scorpions from different biotopes. Venom from scorpions collected from two different regions …

Arthropod venoms are a rich mixture of biologically active compounds exerting different
physiological actions across diverse phyla and affecting multiple organ systems including …

Venoms of medically important scorpions from Buthidae family have been intensively
studied, in contrast to non-buthid venoms, for which knowledge is scarce. In this work, we …

The Amazon biome is home to many scorpion species, with around two hundred identified in
the region. Of these, forty-eight species have been reported so far and six of them are of …

New drugs are constantly in demand, and nature's biodiversity is a rich source of new
compounds for therapeutic applications. Synthetic peptides based on the transcriptome …

The effect of peptide toxins on voltage-gated ion channels can be reliably assessed using
electrophysiological assays, such as the patch-clamp technique. However, much of the …
