Inhibitors

EC Number Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
3.4.21.95 Acetylsalicylic acid aspirin, reduces markedly platelet aggregating effect induced by VLCII, less effective compared to clopidogrel Macrovipera lebetina
3.4.21.95 ADP reduces slightly platelet aggregating effect induced by VLCII Macrovipera lebetina
3.4.21.95 clopidogrel P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitor, reduces markedly platelet aggregating effect induced by VLCII Macrovipera lebetina
3.4.21.95 additional information no inhibition of the proteolytic activity of VLCII by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, poor inhibition by EGTA. VLCII activity on platelet aggregation is tested after treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) irreversible inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and clopidogrel (plavix) antagonist of P2Y12 receptor Macrovipera lebetina

3.4.21.95 additional information VLCII is a thrombin-like serine protease able to hydrolyze Nalpha-CBZ L-arginine-4-nitroanilide hydrochloride. The enzyme shows high coagulant activity against human plasma and cleaves both Aalpha chain and Bbeta chain of bovine fibrinogen. The enzyme also exhibits esterase activity on BAEE substrate. The coagulant activity of venom or VLCII is evaluated using human-citrated platelet-poor plasma and human platelet-rich plasma Macrovipera lebetina ?

General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
3.4.21.95 malfunction clopidogrel P2Y12 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitor reduces markedly the aggregating effect induced by VLCII indicating the involvement of ADP signaling pathway Macrovipera lebetina
3.4.21.95 physiological function in addition to its proteolytic activity, enzyme VLCII presents coagulant activity on human plasma. The isolated VLCII displays proaggregating effect on human platelets in a concentration-dependent manner with an absence of lag time. Purified VLCII is able to clot human plasma Macrovipera lebetina
