Product Information

• Name: Glycine 4-nitroanilide
• Synonyms: Gly-pNA2-amino-N-(4-nitrophenyl)acetamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glycine 4-nitroanilide, also known as Gly-Pro-pNA, is a compound used in various scientific applications. It is a colorimetric substrate for prolyl endopeptidase, and its enzymatic cleavage releases p-nitroanilide (pNA), which can be quantified. This compound is commonly used in aminopeptidase assays and in the functional characterization and activity determination of post-proline cleaving enzymes (PPCEs).Additionally, it is mentioned as a substrate for studying soil nitrogen depolymerization, specifically in aminopeptidase assays using nitroanilide substrates.The compound is also used in studying the catalytic activity of enzymes such as gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT).
