CC   -!- FUNCTION: Thrombin-like snake venom serine protease that displays
CC       clotting activity on fibrinogen. Shows both arginine-ester hydrolase
CC       and amidase activities on synthetic substrates. Also shows proteolytic
CC       activity toward casein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1485336}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Xaa bond in fibrinogen, to form
CC         fibrin, and release fibrinopeptide A. The specificity of further
CC         degradation of fibrinogen varies with species origin of the enzyme.;
CC         EC=3.4.21.74;
CC   -!- BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
CC       Kinetic parameters:
CC         KM=65 nM for CBS 34-47 {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1485336};
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1485336}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Snake venom subfamily.
CC       {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00274}.
