The venom of the Equatorial spitting cobra exhibited the common characteristic enzymatic activities of Asiatic spitting cobra venoms: low protease, phosphodiesterase, alkaline phosphomonoesterase and L-amino-acid oxidase activities, moderately high acetylcholinesterase and hyaluronidase activities and high Hyaluronidase deficiency
Hyaluronidase deficiency (also known as "Mucopolysaccharidosis type IX") is a condition caused by mutations in HYAL1, and characterized by multiple soft-tissue masses.
