Astacins, serralysins, snake venom and matrix metalloproteinases exhibit identical zinc‐binding environments (HEXXHXXGXXH and Met‐turn) and topologies and should be grouped into a common family, the ‘metzincins’

The metzincins — Topological and sequential relations between the astacins, adamalysins, serralysins, and matrixins (collagenases) define a super family of zinc‐peptidases
