Amino acid sequence and biological properties of the lectin from the venom of Trimeresurus okinavensis (Himehabu).
A lectin was isolated from the venom of Trimeresurus okinavensis (Himehabu) and the complete amino acid sequence was determined using clostripain, lysyl endopeptidase, and V8 protease. The hemagglutinating activity of this lectin are reported.
