Accepted name: |
russellysin |
Reaction: |
Specifically activates several components of the blood clotting system, including coagulation factor X, coagulation factor IX and protein C by cleavage of -Arg┼ bonds. Has no action on insulin B chain |
Other name(s): |
Russell's viper venom factor X activator; RVV-X; blood-coagulation factor X activating enzyme; metalloproteinase RVV-x; Vipera russelli proteinase; Russell's viper blood coagulation factor X activator; RVV-V |
Comments: |
This enzyme from the venom of Russell's viper (Vipera russelli) of 79 kDa comprises a heavy (59 kDa) and a heterogeneous light (18-21 kDa) chain. Contains Ca2+ and Zn2+. The heavy chain contains the zinc-binding endopeptidase domain and a disintegrin. In peptidase family M12 (astacin family) |
