Abstract
⺠We discovered multiple metalloproteinases in the Scyphozoan jellyfish venoms. ⺠All the venoms tested show gelatinolytic, caseinolytic, and fibrinolytic activities. ⺠The venom MMP activities have a positive correlation with their cytotoxicities. ⺠The MMPs appear to play an important role in the induction of venom toxicities.
