General annotation (Comments)

Function	Snake venom phospholipase A2 (PLA2) that acts in vivo as an anti-thrombotic agent. Inhibits platelet aggregation induced by ADP, arachidonic acid, or thrombin-induced. PLA2 catalyzes the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of the 2-acyl groups in 3-sn-phosphoglycerides. Ref.2
Catalytic activity	Phosphatidylcholine + H2O = 1-acylglycerophosphocholine + a carboxylate.
Cofactor	Binds 1 calcium ion.
Subunit structure	Monomer.
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Expressed by the venom gland.
Pharmaceutical use	The venom of this snake has been orally administered to patients in China for about 2000 years, mostly to treat thrombotic diseases.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the phospholipase A2 family. Group II subfamily. D49 sub-subfamily.
Mass spectrometry	Molecular mass is 13962 Da from positions 1 - 124. Determined by ESI. Ref.2
