Snake venom from Bothrops alternata (Urutu) may be used as a source of Bothrops venom associated toxins useful in research. It may also be used as an immunogen or for proteome research.
Snake-venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) comprise a family of haemostatically active toxins which can cause haemorrhage, coagulopathy, inhibition of platelet aggregation and inflammatory response. These effects are attributed to the proteolytic action of SVMPs on extracellular matrix components, plasma proteins and cell-surface

Bites from snake (Bothrops genus) cause local tissue damage and systemic complications, which include alterations such as hemostatic system and acute renal failure (ARF). Recent studies suggest that ARF pathogenesis in snakebite envenomation is multifactorial and involves hemodynamic disturbances, immunologic
