Table 4.

Bunodosoma caissarum’s new toxins identified through similarity with other described toxins in transcriptome and confirmed in proteome and/or reduced and alkylated peptidome. * These toxin names were suggested according to Oliveira et al. (2006) proposed nomenclature for sea anemone toxins [58].
