Snake venom phospholipase A2 homolog that lacks enzymatic activity. Is myotoxic and induces a dose-dependent edema in the mouse foot pad (PubMed:2781572, PubMed:9839670). Also exhibits strong anticoagulant effects by binding to factor Xa (F10) and inhibiting the prothrombinase activity (IC50 is 3 nM) (PubMed:18062812). In addition, it shows cytotoxic activity to a variety of cell types and bactericidal activity to a variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (PubMed:7886694, PubMed:9654096, PubMed:9920486). Also induces a very rapid release of large amounts of potassium ions and ATP from muscle cells, which accounts for the pain reaction characteristic of viperid envenomations (PubMed:20660736). The released ATP amplifies the effect of the myotoxins, acting as a 'danger signal', which spreads and causes further damage by acting on purinergic receptors (PubMed:20660736). A model of myotoxic mechanism has been proposed: an apo Lys49-PLA2 is activated by the entrance of a hydrophobic molecule (e.g. fatty acid) at the hydrophobic channel of the protein leading to a reorientation of a monomer (By similarity). This reorientation causes a transition between 'inactive' to 'active' states, causing alignment of C-terminal and membrane-docking sites (MDoS) side-by-side and putting the membrane-disruption sites (MDiS) in the same plane, exposed to solvent and in a symmetric position for both monomers (By similarity). The MDoS region stabilizes the toxin on membrane by the interaction of charged residues with phospholipid head groups (By similarity). Subsequently, the MDiS region destabilizes the membrane with penetration of hydrophobic residues (By similarity). This insertion causes a disorganization of the membrane, allowing an uncontrolled influx of ions (i.e. calcium and sodium), and eventually triggering irreversible intracellular alterations and cell death (By similarity).By similarity8 Publications

Heparin inhibits the myotoxic activity (PubMed:7961981). Suramin inhibits the myotoxic activity (PubMed:15961104). High level of membrane cholesterol content reduces cytolytic activity, whereas low level of membrane cholesterol content increases cytolytic activity (PubMed:21506137).3 Publications

K49-P1-20, a twenty-residue N-terminal peptide that corresponds to residues 17-36 of myotoxin II, enhances the activity of endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE1) and neprilysin (MME), two enzymes that degrade amyloid beta in the brain. It could be an excellent research tool to study mechanisms of ECE1 and MME stimulation, and a potential novel drug lead in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.1 Publication

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1.
