Freire Donato [68] determined the N-terminal amino acid sequence of a toxin from the venom of M. l. carvalhoi that provokes the release of glutamate from rat cortical synaptosomes. While that sequence contained two cysteine residues that appear spurious, when those are deleted, her sequence aligns well with sequences from five of the six Micrurus transcriptomes. These appear to represent the first complete sequences of snake toxins that provoke glutamate release.
