Thrombolytic effects of the snake venom disintegrin saxatilin determined by novel assessment methods: a FeCl3-induced thrombosis model in mice.
Saxatilin, a novel disintegrin purified and cloned from the venom of the Korean snake Gloydius saxatilis, strongly inhibits activation and aggregation of platelets.
