Crotalus terrificus

Table 1 presents a survey of hyaluronidase activity in the venom of several animal species. Transglycosylation properties have been observed with hyaluronidase from snake venom (Crotalus terrificus) [8], but not with hyaluronidase from bee venom [19]. 

Basic polypeptide toxin from rattlesnake Crotalus terrificus. Activates sodium channels in muscle depolarization and contracture, blocked by tetrodotoxin. See also crotoxin.
