  • Title: Isolation and characterization of a bradykinin potentiating peptide (BPP-S) isolated from Scaptocosa raptoria venom.
    Author: Ferreira LA, Alves WE, Lucas MS, Habermehl GG.
    Journal: Toxicon; 1996 May; 34(5):599-603. PubMed ID: 8783454.
    Abstract:
    Venom of the spider Scaptocosa raptoria was fractionated by chromatography on Sephadex G-10 followed by HPLC, and a bradykinin potentiating peptide, BPP-S, was obtained in pure form. The amino acid sequence of this undecapeptide is presented. Peptide BPP-S significantly potentiates the effects of bradykinin on smooth muscle, and inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in vitro.
