Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

It was overviewed the composition of snake venom,the effects of snake venom fractions on blood coagulation system,and the medical applications.The chemical composition of snake venom is very complex,containing the enzymes,neurotoxic polypeptide,nerve growth factor,active membranous peptides and other biologically active peptides.The enzymes contain a variety of components which are closely related with coagulation system and fibrinolytic system.The component of venom has a very important role in the medical fields,such as procoagulant effect,thrombolytic effect,analgesic effect,antihypertensive effect and antineoplastic effect.
