FunFam 47655: Thrombin-like enzyme crotalase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Venombin A. [EC: 3.4.21.74]
Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Xaa bond in fibrinogen, to form fibrin, and release fibrinopeptide A. The specificity of further degradation of fibrinogen varies with species origin of the enzyme.
  • A somewhat thrombin-like enzyme from venoms of snakes of the viper/rattlesnake group.
  • Species variants of the enzyme include ancrod from Agkistrodon rhodostoma (Malayan pit viper), batroxobin from Bothrops atrox (South American pit viper) and crotalase from Crotalus adamanteus (Eastern diamondback rattlesnake).
  • Does not require activation by calcium.
  • Belongs to peptidase family S1.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.21.28, EC 3.4.21.29 and EC 3.4.21.30.
