Echis Carinatus Venom

Echis Carinatus and Echis Ocellatus Venom

For researchers requiring the highest quality Echis Carinatus Venom or Saw-Scaled Viper Venom, our products are meticulously sourced and prepared. We are a premier venom supplier for antivenom production and advanced scientific study, offering HPLC purified snake venom and diagnostic venom samples for precise results.

Our lyophilized snake venom is sold in vacuum-sealed glass vials containing 500 mg and 1 g, ensuring stability and longevity. This makes it an ideal standard for coagulation research venom and other applications.

Key Applications and Components:

The venom of the Echis ocellatus is critically used in the production of antivenom immunoglobulins targeted at countries in the Middle East and North Africa. It contains Ocellatusin, Ocellatin, several disintegrins (EO4A, EO5A, EO5B…), Zinc metalloproteinases (Eoc1, Eoc6, EoVMP2, EoMP06), Serine protease sp-Eoc49, metalloprotease inhibitor 02D01, Venom nerve growth factor, and PLA2s.

The Echis carinatus sochureki species is of the greatest medical significance in Central and South Asia, as recognized by the WHO. Its venom is essential for creating region-specific antivenoms. Researchers can buy Echis carinatus venom for coagulation studies and to study its complex mixture of procoagulants, zinc metalloproteinases, anticoagulants, nephrotoxins, and necrotoxins. Key isolated components include disintegrins like the famous Echistatin peptide, metalloproteinases, serine proteinases, echincetin, and PLA2s.

A purified procoagulant from Echis carinatus venom, which converts prothrombin into thrombin, has been well-characterized. With a molecular weight of approximately 86,000 and an isoelectric point of pH 4.4, this molecule is a vital tool for detailed hematological research, despite its proteolytic nature and relative instability.

General Shape
Snake with a very short tail that is small in length, cylindrical, and moderately slender in build. Can reach a maximum height of approximately 0.83 meters.

The pupils of the eyes are vertically elliptical in shape and are of medium size. The scales on the head are keeled. Dorsal scales are dull, strongly keeled, and imbricate with apical pits. Dorsal scales are keeled and dull. The serrations on the lower lateral body scales are particularly noticeable. Ventrals have a rounded shape.

Habitat
Desert terrain primarily consists of dry rocky hillside and mountain terrain with sparsely vegetated areas up to approximately 1500 meters in elevation. Attempts to stay away from areas with loose sand.

Habits
This terrestrial and nocturnal creature moves by sidewinding and avoids the summer heat by burrowing deeper into its burrow to stay cool and protected. After being disturbed, it assumes an S-shaped coil position and rubs against its own sides, producing a rasping sound. Extremely nervous, irritable, and aggressive disposition; quick to strike at the slightest provocation and does not attempt to flee the situation.

Prey
Arthropods, lizards, rodents, frogs, and birds are the primary prey for this species.
