Descriptor erabutoxinas
Scope note: Toxinas aisladas del veneno de Laticauda semifasciata, una serpiente marina (hidrófido). Son polipéptidos básicos, inmunógenos, de 62 aminoácidos, doblados por cuatro enlaces disulfuro, que bloquean irreversiblemente las placas terminales neuromusculares, produciendo así parálisis y daño muscular grave. Son similares a las neurotoxinas de elápidos.

Scope note: Toxins isolated from the venom of Laticauda semifasciata, a sea snake (Hydrophid); immunogenic, basic polypeptides of 62 amino acids, folded by four disulfide bonds, block neuromuscular end-plates irreversibly, thus causing paralysis and severe muscle damage; they are similar to Elapid neurotoxins.
