reported that ACTX-6 (98 kDa proteins containing two subunits) from Agkistrodon acutus venom induces cell apoptosis. Moreover, a study on the in-vitro effect of BJcuL on adhesion of human ovarian and breast cancer carcinoma cells and viability of these cell lines indicated that BJcuL (a galactose binding lectin from Bothrops jararacussu) inhibits the growth of tumor cell lines and endothelial cells. BJcuL affect these cells through altering cell adhesion and induction of apoptosis.
