Cytotoxicity of snake venom Lys49 PLA2-like myotoxin on rat cardiomyocytes ex vivo does not involve a direct action on the contractile apparatus

Viperid snake venoms contain a unique family of cytotoxic proteins, the Lys49 PLA(2) homologs, which are devoid of enzymatic activity but disrupt the integrity of cell membranes.
