CC -!- FUNCTION: Snake venom serine protease that completely cleaves
CC fibrinogen Aalpha chain (FGA), partially cleaves Bbeta chain (FGB) and
CC has no activity on gamma chain. Is more potent that A2 and A3 alpha-
CC fibrinogenases. Very active within 5 minutes.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8024586}.
CC -!- ACTIVITY REGULATION: Inhibited by PMSF, bovine aprotinin (APR), and
CC soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI). Is not inhibited by EDTA, beta-
CC mercaptoethanol, and high temperature (85 degrees Celsius).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1616487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8024586}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Monomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1616487,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:8024586}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8024586}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8024586}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Snake venom subfamily.
CC {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00274}.
