The major constituents of spider venoms are protein, polypeptide and polyamine neurotoxins, enzymes, nucleic acids, free amino acids, monoamines and inorganic salts. The identification of the proteins in spider venoms is an essential step for identification of venom. In this study, we compared with protein profiles of </span> <em> <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">Agelena </span> </em> <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman;"> </span> <em> <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;">labyrinthica </span> </em> <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: TimesNewRoman; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRoman;">venom obtained by electrostimulation of the prosoma and extracted directly from gland.
