DisintegrinDB: The first integrated database resource of disintegrins from snake venoms.

Nowadays, a large number of databases have been developed gathering different types of therapeutic peptides including antimicrobial, antiviral and scorpion toxins peptides facilitating the searching for these molecules and their structural characteristics and pharmacology. Disintegrins, a family of small non-enzymatic and cysteine-rich proteins found in the snake venom may have a potential role in terms of novel therapeutic leads for cancer treatment. Despite their therapeutic effect, no database dedicated to disintegrins is available yet.
