Mackessey et. al. suggest Duvernoy’s gland does secrete venom and is homologous to the venom gland found in front-fanged snakes. The evolutionary path of these separate glands may come from “venom proteins” whose genes are widely expressed in tissues of both venomous and non-venomous snakes. These genes are overexpressed in the venom glands (including Duvernoy’s gland), indicating the secretions from these glands evolved separately, rather than sequentially.^[1]Murry4329 (talk) 04:20, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
