Notes: Basic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) homolog MjTX-I is a PLA2-like myotoxin of the Lys49-PLA2 family that has been found in Brazilian lancehead viper (B. moojeni) venom.{69266} Unlike other Lys49-PLA2 proteins that form homodimers, basic PLA2 homolog MjTX-I forms oligomeric conformations in solution that can also be induced by certain ligands such as the class 3 PLA2-like toxin inhibitor suramin (Item No. 11126).{69267,69266,69268} Basic PLA2 homolog MjTX-I is catalytically inactive and has lower myotoxic activity than other Lys49-PLA2 proteins in mice.{69267,69266} It is cytotoxic to myoblasts in vitro and intraperitoneally lethal to mice.{69269}
