| Cleavage of 3-Asn-|-Gln-4, 9-Ser-|-His-10 and 14-Ala-|-Leu-15 bonds in insulin B chain and 14-Tyr-|-Gln-15 and 8-Thr-|-Ser-9 in A chain. Cleaves type IV collagen at 73-Ala-|-Gln-74 in alpha-1-(IV) and at 7-Gly-|-Leu-8 in alpha-2-(IV) |

| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Hemorrhagic endopeptidase from the venom of the western diamondback
rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox).
- Digests basement membrane components, including the triple helix of
type IV collagen.
- Such action is believed to contribute to the hemorrhagic property by
weakening capillary walls.
- Belongs to peptidase family M12B.
