| Bioactivity | Dendraspis Angusticeps Venom (Eastern Green Mamba Venom) is a snake venom that can be obtained from Dendraspis Angusticeps (green mamba). Natriuretic peptides and fasciculins (anticholinesterase toxins) can be isolated from Dendraspis Angusticeps Venom. Dendraspis Angusticeps Venom enhances acetylcholine release. Dendraspis Angusticeps Venom inhibits the binding of quinuclidinyl benzilate to mAChR[1][2][3][4]. |
