Leucolysin is a zinc metalloendopeptidase from the venom of the western cottonmouth moccasin snake (Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma). It cleaves Phe1-/-Val, His5-/-Leu, Ala14-/-Leu, Gly20-/-Glu, Gly23-/-Phe and Phe24-/-Phe in the insulin B chain, as well as N-blocked dipeptides. In venom it causes tissue damage. It features an M12-family zinc catalytic domain.
