Abstract

A 28 kDa-protein with inhibitory activity on collagen- and ADP-induced platelet aggregation was purified from the venom of the snake Bothrops jararaca. Its complete amino acid sequence corresponded to the carboxyl-terminal region consisting of disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich domains of jararhagin, a high molecular weight hemorrhagic metalloprotease. Sequence homology of the protein to other disintegrins and disintegrin-like proteins from various snake venoms is also presented.
