Product Information

• Name: Antipain
• Synonyms: [(S)-1-Carboxy-2-Phenylethyl]-Carbamoyl-L-Arginyl-L-Valyl-Argininal • Monohydrochloride Dihydrate, (S)-1-Carboxy-2-phenylethyl]-car bamoyl-Arg-Val-Arg-H hydrochloride form 2O
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Antipain is a protease inhibitor, which is derived from microbial sources. It inhibits serine and cysteine proteases through the formation of a reversible covalent complex with the active site of the enzyme. This interaction effectively prevents the proteolytic activity of these enzymes, thereby modulating various biological processes.The primary application of Antipain is in biochemical research where it is utilized to study protease function and regulation. By inhibiting specific proteases, researchers can investigate protein degradation pathways and decipher complex signaling mechanisms. Additionally, Antipain is used experimentally to inhibit protease activity in cell lysates, thereby preserving protein integrity during sample preparation. Its specificity for serine and cysteine proteases makes it a valuable tool for differentiating between proteolytic activities in various biological samples.
