Tityus serrulatus Scorpion Venom and Toxins: An Overview

Abstract: Tityus serrulatus is considered the most dangerous scorpion in South America and responsible for most of the fatal cases. This review will focus on Tityus serrulatus scorpion venom (Tsv), its long-chain Na(+)-channel toxins (NaTx), which include alpha- and beta-neurotoxins, short-chain K(+)-channel toxins (KTx), hyaluronidase, proteases and other peptides hitherto identified.

“…These events result in clinical manifestations such as restlessness, excessive salivation, lacrimation, hypertension followed by hypotension, heart failure, and cardiogenic shock, among others. Not all symptoms, however, are attributed to a direct action of specific neurotoxins on organs [4], and recent studies suggest that other molecules may contribute to these effects [5][6][7]. Metallopeptidases, hyaluronidase, biogenic amines, antimicrobial peptides (AMP), and other oligopeptides are also present in Tsv [7][8][9]; however, the role of these molecules in envenomation is still unclear.…”
