Scutelarin (EC 3.4.21.60, taipan activator, Oxyuranus scutellatus prothrombin-activating proteinase) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- Selective cleavage of Arg-Thr and Arg-Ile in prothrombin to form thrombin and two inactive fragments
This enzyme is isolated from the venom of the Taipan snake (Oxyuranus scutellatus).
