abrine
n. C2 Proficiency abrine
n. a poison found in the venom of some snakes. It is a very strong substance that can cause serious harm to humans.
n. a potent neurotoxin found in the venom of certain pit vipers, particularly the genus Bothrops. It functions as a phospholipase A2 enzyme that disrupts cell membranes and causes systemic inflammation.
The snake's venom contains abrine and other dangerous toxins.
Medical researchers are studying abrine to understand how it affects the nervous system during a snake bite.
While abrine is primarily known for its role in venom toxicity, some studies suggest it may have potential applications in pharmaceuticals for treating specific inflammatory conditions.
