Fasciculin 1, Dendroaspis angusticeps (green mamba). Fasciculins are a class of toxic proteins found in certain snake venoms, notably some species of mamba.Investigations have revealed distinct forms in some green mamba venoms, in particular FAS1 and FAS2 [1] Fasciculins are so called because they cause intense fasciculation in muscle fascicles of susceptible organisms, such as the preferred ...
