A novel fibrinolytic enzyme, named nattokinase, was demonstrated in the vegetable cheese Natto, which is a typical soybean food eaten in Japan, and it digested fibrin but also the plasmin substrate H-D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA, which was more sensitive to the enzyme than other substrates tried.

A strong fibrinolytic enzyme was readily obtained in saline extracts of the earthworm, Lumbricus rubellus, and it hydrolyzed not only plasminogen-rich fibrin plates, but also plasMinogen-free fibrIn plates, which indicated a very broad optimal pH range.

The melanoma‐derived cathepsin‐H‐like enzyme degrade fibrinogen and fibronectin, but not laminin or type‐IV collagen, and may have important functions in the destruction of extracellular matrix components, thus enabling proliferation, migration, and metastasis to occur.

Slower recovery of the haemostatic disturbances after antivenom administration to patients bitten by young snakes suggests a more severe coagulopathy in such accidents, supported by clinical observations.
