	abstract = "<P>Agkisacutacin is a new fibrinogenlytic protein from <B>Agkistrodon acutus</B> venom. It consists of two heterologous subunits linked by an intersubunit disulfide bond. The cDNAs encoding the two chains of Agkisacutacin were cloned from a <IMG SRC="/iso-ents/isogrk32/lambda-s.gif" ALT="lambda">gt11 cDNA library of the snake venom gland and sequenced, including the leader peptides (23/23 amino acid residues) and mature subunits (129/123 amino acid residues). It is structurally related to the family of IX/X-binding protein (IX/X-bp)-like proteins and shows high similarity (<IMG SRC="/iso-ents/isogrk32/alpha-s.gif" ALT="alpha">-70&#037;/<IMG SRC="/iso-ents/isogrk32/beta-s.gif" ALT="beta">-64&#037;) to habu IX/X-bp from <B>Trimeresurus flavoridis,</B> but displays distinct biological activity with direct action on fibrinogen. <B>Copyright 1999 Academic Press.</B></P>",
