2012, ToxiconCitation Excerpt :The membrane damaging activity is also responsible for its bactericidal activity (Chen et al., 2011). Naja atra venom also contains cardiotoxin-like basic miniproteins (CLBP) that depolarize skeletal muscle cells (Harvey and Hayashi, 1987) whose sequences have been already elucidated (Inoue et al., 1989). Phospholipase A2 (Lo et al., 1972; Tsai et al., 1981) is another component of this cobra venom that contributes to its toxicity due to its ability to destroy cell membranes.
