This protein is a zinc protease from snake venom that is devoid of significant myotoxic and hemorrhagic activities. It hydrolyzes the Aalpha-chain and more slowly the Bbeta-chain of fibrin and fibrinogen, without affecting the gamma-chains. It induces cell detachment and a apoptosis (anoikis) in endothelial cells (By similarity). Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. Inhibited by EDTA. Monomer. Expressed by the venom gland. Belongs to the venom metalloproteinase (M12B) family. P-I subfamily.
