Leucolysin (EC 3.4.24.6, Leucostoma neutral proteinase, Leucostoma peptidase A) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Cleavage of Phe1-Val, His5-Leu, Ala14-Leu, Gly20-Glu, Gly23-Phe and Phe24-Phe bonds in insulin B chain as well as N-blocked dipeptides
This enzyme is isolated from the venom of the western cottonmouth moccasin snake (Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma).
