Scope note: Venenos de serpientes de la familia Elapidae, como la cobra, la cobra de la India, la cobra sudafricana, las víboras de coral, tigre y australiana. El veneno contiene toxinas polipeptídicas de diversos tipos, factores citolíticos, hemolíticos y neurotóxicos, pero menos enzimas que el veneno de víbora o de crotálidos. Muchas de las toxinas se han caracterizado.

Scope note: Venoms from snakes of the family Elapidae, including cobras, kraits, mambas, coral, tiger, and Australian snakes. The venoms contain polypeptide toxins of various kinds, cytolytic, hemolytic, and neurotoxic factors, but fewer enzymes than viper or crotalid venoms. Many of the toxins have been characterized.

Cobra Venoms - Narrower
Concept UI M0004668
Scope note Venoms from snakes of the genus NAJA. They contain many specific proteins that have cytotoxic, hemolytic, neurotoxic, and other properties. Like other elapid venoms, they are rich in enzymes. They include cobramines and cobralysins.

Hydrophid Venoms - Narrower
Concept UI M0010731
Scope note Venoms of sea snakes (HYDROPHIIDAE) found around Pacific islands. The venoms contain fewer enzymes and more neuro- or myotoxins than land snakes. The neurotoxic proteins are similar to elapid small, short, or type I neurotoxins, some of which have been characterized.
