Figure 3From: The venom-gland transcriptome of the eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus)Expression levels of major classes of toxins and nontoxins. More than 60% of the total reads have been accounted for with full-length annotated transcripts. (A) The major toxin classes were the CTLs, SVSPs, MYO, and SVMPs (types II and III). (B) As expected for a protein-secreting tissue, the venom gland expresses an abundance of proteins involved in proteostasis.Back to article page
