Cleavable peptide sequence from Human Pro-neuropeptide Y

This is a protein linker with a peptide sequence of RQRYGKRS. This peptide sequence has been proven experimentally to be cleaved by the venom of Bitis arietans. It is originally from Human Pro-neuropeptide Y, a pro-peptide that is implicated in the secretion of gonadotrophin-release hormone (GnRH)

Results of experiments

This peptide is one out of three peptides that were specifically cleaved only by Bitis arietans.

In the graf below you are able to see the cleavage by all three venoms.
