Fibrolase
Fibrolase (EC 3.4.24.72, fibrinolytic proteinase, Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix metalloproteinase, Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix venom metalloproteinase) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Hydrolysis of -Ala14-Leu- in insulin B chain and -Lys413-Leu- in Aalpha-chain of fibrinogen
This enzyme is present in the venom of the southern copperhead snake (Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix).
