Oviductin (EC 3.4.21.120 , oviductal protease ) is an enzyme found in the Japanese toad (Bufo japonicus Xenopus laevis )[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] catalyses the following chemical reaction in Xenopus laevis :
Preferential cleavage at Gly-Ser-Arg373- of glycoprotein gp43 in the coelemic egg envelope to yield gp41.
