Abstract
► The majority of Micrurus venom components are neurotoxins and phospholipase A2s, this study demonstrated that these venoms also contain high-molecular-weight proteins between 50 and 150 kDa that target the hemostatic system. ► The Micrurus venoms contained fibrino(geno)lytic activity, they inhibited platelet aggregation, as well as factor Xa and/or plasmin-like activities. ► This is the first report on thrombin-like and fibrino(geno)lytic activity and plasmin or factor Xa inhibitors described in Micrurus venoms.
