title: cDNA sequence analysis of a novel member of the three loop protein family from the Chinese continental banded krait.
abstract: The cDNA encoding a novel three loop protein was cloned from cellular RNA isolated from the venom gland of Bungarus multicinctus multicinctus by RT-PCR. The mature protein has 82 amino acid residues. It shared only 25-38% similarity with some cardiotoxins and did not have sequence similarity with neurotoxins, while its cDNA was about 70% similar to both the cDNAs encoding neurotoxins and the cDNAs encoding cardiotoxins.
