The Chinese red-headed centipede, also known as the Chinese red head, ( Scolopendra mutilans) is a centipede from East Asia (type locality: Japan). It averages 20 cm (8 in) in length and lives in damp environments. [1] Chinese red-headed centipede In ancient Chinese traditions, this centipede is used for its healing properties. Scolopendra subspinipes is an aggressive and nervous arthropod, ready to strike if interfered with and sensitive to vibrations nearby. [3] [4] It preys primarily on arachnids, including spiders, scorpions, and vinegaroons. It is large enough to overpower small vertebrates, such as mice or small reptiles, and will readily attempt to consume them.

The Chinese red-headed centipede ( Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans) delivers a powerful venom that wreaks havoc on its prey's circulatory system. In the lab, researchers have observed them dispatching mice 15 times their size in just 30 seconds. Our previous transcriptomic analysis identified five venom allergen-like proteins from the Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, but only one of these allergen-like proteins could be identified based on a sequence similarity comparison of the S. s. mutilans proteomic data with known allergens from other arthropod species. 26 Moreover, venomic and.

Scolopendra mutilans is a venom-containing animal, which is rich in antimicrobial peptides, ion channel modulators, enzymes, and other macromolecular active substances ( Yoo et al. 2014 ). Due to its active ingredients, it is of great interest in modern medical research. The centipede Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans is an environmentally beneficial and medically important arthropod species. Although this species is increasingly applied as a reliable source of new antimicrobial peptides, the transcriptome of this species is a prerequisite for more rational selection of antimicrobial peptides. In this report, we isolated total RNA from the whole body of adult. Scolopendra mutilans L. Koch, 1878 is an important Chinese animal with thousands of years of medicinal history. However, the genomic information of this species is limited, which hinders its. The Chinese red-head centipede Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans is capable of choosing prey depending on the amount of venom available in its venom glands and the sensitivity of the prey to its venom, thus suggesting the presence of a complex prey detection system.

( Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans L. Koch. (SSLK) helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) but its effects on rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients remain unclear. 80 RHD patients were recruited and randomly assigned into SG (to receive SSLK treatment) and CG (to receive placebo) groups, and the intervention lasted for 3 months.
