Classification of up and down-regulated mRNAs in adult scorpions compered to juvenile into venom components. A Relative distribution of the up-regulated genes identified in the venom gland transcriptome of adults A. crassicauda. The up-gulated toxic proteins were subdivided into distinct groups, including Ion channel toxins (12), Insect toxins (5), Mammal toxins (1), Antimicrobial peptides (3), and Other toxins (22). The number of transcripts classified for Potassium channel toxin, Calcium channel toxin and Sodium channel toxin are 6, 5 and 1, respectively. B Relative distribution of the down-regulated genes identified in the venom gland transcriptome of adult A. crassicauda. The down-gulated toxic proteins were subdivided into distinct groups, including Ion channel toxins (5), Insect toxins (1), Antimicrobial peptides (1), and Other toxins (9). The number of transcripts classified for Potassium channel toxin and Calcium channel toxin are 4 and 1, respectively
