Abstract
⺠Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are highly abundant in many viper venoms. ⺠SVMPs can cause hemorrhage and disruption of hemostasis upon envenomation. ⺠SVMPs and mammalian ADAM/ADAMTS proteins constitute the M12B clan of endopeptidases. ⺠Large SVMPs and ADAMs/ADAMTSs have multiple non-catalytic domains. ⺠These ancillary domains may target the enzyme to specific substrates.
