Ophiolysin
Ophiolysin (EC 3.4.24.51, Ophiophagus metalloendopeptidase) is an enzyme.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Cleavage of Asn3-Gln, Gln4-His, His10-Leu, Ala14-Leu, and Tyr16-Leu in insulin B chain
This endopeptidase is present in the venom of the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah)
