- A new protein called PPTI was discovered in the venom of the Persian false horned viper and is part of the kunitz-type protein family.
- Mass spectrometry revealed that PPTI is a 68 amino acid protein with unique traits, including a pyroglutamyl modification at its N-terminus.
- The study suggests that PPTI can inhibit trypsin and may also block potassium channels, indicating it has dual functionality.
