TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Isolation and characterization of a bradykinin potentiating peptide (BPP-S) isolated from Scaptocosa raptoria venom JO - Toxicon: Journal of the International Society on Toxinology A1 - Ferreira, L. A. A1 - Alves, W. E. A1 - Lucas, M. S. A1 - Habermehl, G. G. SP - 599 EP - 603 VL - 34 IS - 5 N2 - 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.
