Atrolysin E (EC 3.4.24.44, Crotalus atrox metalloendopeptidase e, hemorrhagic toxin e) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Cleavage of Asn-Gln, Ser-His and Ala-Leu bonds in insulin B chain and Tyr-Gln and Thr-Ser in A chain. Cleaves type IV collagen at Ala-Gln in alpha1(IV) and at Gly-Leu in alpha2(IV)

This endopeptidase is present in the venom of the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox).
