General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information the enzyme is a thrombin-like serine protease Bothrops alternatus
physiological function the enzyme causes morphological alterations in heart, liver, lung and muscle of mice and causes blood clotting in vitro and defibrinogenation when intraperitoneally administered to mice, suggesting it to be a thrombin-like enzyme Bothrops alternatus
