Molecular and biochemical characterization of a cytolysin from the Scorpaena plumieri (scorpionfish) venom: Evidence of pore formation on erythrocyte cell membrane

All these results contribute to the better understanding of Sp-CTx molecular/cellular actions in envenomation caused by S. plumieri. The results are also in agreement with previous reports of structural and functional similarities among piscine hemolytic toxins.
