Apoptosis induced by a snake venom metalloproteinase from Bothrops alternatus venom in C2C12 muscle cells

In conclusion, our results suggest that the absence of appropriate extracellular matrix contacts triggers anoikis. Therefore, this is the first report that demonstrated the mechanism of programmed cell death triggered by baltergin, a PIII metalloprotease isolated fromBothrops alternatus venom, in a myoblast cell line.
