Mucrolysin (EC 3.4.24.54, Trimeresurus metalloendopeptidase A, mucrotoxin A) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Cleavage of Ser9-His, His10-Leu, Ala14-Leu, Leu15-Tyr and Tyr16-Leu bonds in insulin B chain
This endopeptidase from the venom of Taiwan habu snake (Protobothrops mucrosquamatus).
