enzyme VaH3 is a labile protein that rapidly loses its proteolytic and hemorrhagic activities, presence of imidazole and absence of Ca2+ ions in the buffers reduces VaH3 stability, also 50 mM NaCl or KCl reduce the enzyme stability | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes |
stability depends on the presence of Zn2+ and Ca2+ ions | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes |

bovine factor X + H2O | the enzyme is able to activate factor X only to a very small extent. However it strongly degrades factor X. The major proteolytic products accumulates between 34 and 37 kDa and their N-terminals correspond to cleavage at residues 17, 20 and 22 upstream of the N-terminal of the factor Xa heavy chain | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes | ? | - |

bovine prothrombin + H2O | the enzyme degrades prothrombin in vitro, however in a nonactivating way. VaH3 cleaves the molecule at sites involved in the physiological process of its activation. This results in the formation of prethrombin-1 and prethrombin-2, along with fragments 1 and 2. However, VaH3 does not cleave the Arg320-/-Ile321 peptide bond that is essential for the formation of active alpha-thrombin | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes | ? | - |

evolution | the enzyme VaH3 belongs to the P-IIIc class of snake venom metalloproteinases | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes |
additional information | enzyme three-dimensional structure model and structure-function relationship analysis, overview | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes |
physiological function | Zn2+-dependent metalloproteinases play a major part in the pathological effects of viperid snake bites, the most pronounced being local and systemic hemorrhage, local tissue damage and coagulopathy. Enzyme VaH3 is one of the principal hemorrhagins in Vipera ammodytes ammodytes venom The enzyme is an effective alpha-fibrinogenase that cleaves prothrombin and factor X without activating them. VaH3 only very weakly inhibits collagen-, ADP- and ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation | Vipera ammodytes ammodytes |
