Bicistronic Vector Expression of Recombinant Jararhagin-C and Its Effects on Endothelial Cells.

Jararhagin-C (JarC) is a protein from the venom of consisting of disintegrin-like and cysteine-rich domains. JarC shows a modulating effect on angiogenesis and remodeling of extracellular matrix constituents, improving wound healing in a mouse experimental model. JarC is purified from crude venom, and the yield is less than 1%.
