Atrolysin F (EC 3.4.24.45, Crotalus atrox metalloendopeptidase, hemorrhagic toxin f, Crotalus atrox metalloendopeptidase f) is an enzyme.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Cleavage of Val2-Asn, Gln4-His, Leu6-Cys, His10-Leu, Ala14-Leu and Tyr16-Leu bonds in insulin B chain

This endopeptidase is present in the venom of the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox).
