What is snake venom and how its use as medicine

SNAKE VENOM USE AS A MEDICINE ,
Snake venom is highly  modified  parotid salivary gland secretion that secrets zootoxines.
Venoms contain more than 20 different  compounds, mostly proteins, polypeptide, enzymes, and various other substances with toxins and other lethal  proterties serve  to immobilize and digestion of prey animal and defence against threats.

SIX  MAZER MEDICAL  USES  FOR THE SNAKE  VENOM:

1) TREATING CANCER -  
venom  from  rattlesnake contain a chemical  called crotoxin, it only work on particular kinds of cell (blood and muscles). Research Harnessed  the unique  combination  of targeting  and toxicity  in crotoxin to creat  a cancer treatment, called CB24.


2) REDUCE  BLOOD PRESSURE- 
The venom  of the Brazilian  pitviper contain a protein that disrupt  the angiotensin - converting  enzyme (ACE), which rises blood pressure in humans and mammals. Researches  converted venom  into non- toxin ACE blocker, used to treat high blood pressure.


3) KILL PARASITES - 
The venom  of  the prairie rattlesnake contain  a chemical called crovirin, which is use to kill leismania protozoas as well as others in its family  that causes other infections such as chagas diseases and sleeping  sicknesse.


4) CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS-
The venom of the black mamba snake are highly  neurotoxins, these chemicals bind so tightly to nerve cells, researcher at Puerto Rico's universida are investigating  how these chemicals work in order to use them in future, treatment for diseases  that breakdown  the brain & nervous system, such as Alzhimer's and Parkinson's.


5) TREAT MUSCLE  DISEASE - 
The venom from the Taiwan banded krait 
Using to treat muscular disease, such as myasthenia By changing  the electrtcal charges in the cells.


6)MAKE ANTIVENOM - 
Specialists ,, milk'' a snake by extracting  its venom and collecting  in it a bowl then freeze dry it. Then an animal of choice is injected a small amount  of venom; afer a few weeks, researchers  draw its blood and extract  the antibodies it developed to fight the poison.

What are the gene therapies uses to treat cancer
