Genetic Basis for Variation of Metalloproteinase-Associated Biochemical Activity in Venom of the Mojave Rattlesnake (<i>Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus</i>)

<table>Alignment of the four groups (GP1, GP2, GP3, and GP4) of <i>C. s. scutulatus</i> metalloproteinase genomic DNA sequences. Assignment of exon and intron (underlined) regions was made by comparing metalloproteinase cDNA sequences from <i>C. atrox</i> [<a href="/journals/bri/2013/251474/#B7">7</a>] and <i>A. contortrix </i>[<a href="/journals/bri/2013/251474/#B12">12</a>, <a href="/journals/bri/2013/251474/#B30">30</a>] with metalloproteinase genomic DNA sequences from <i>C. s. scutulatus</i> obtained in this study. Differences among the DNA sequences are denoted by an asterisk (*).</table>
