Description

Bz-Gly-Arg is a basic protein that belongs to the class of peptide hormones. It is activated by hydrolysis and has been shown to be highly active in human serum. Bz-Gly-Arg inhibits creatine kinase, which is an enzyme that breaks down ATP and creatine phosphate to produce creatinine and ADP. This inhibition leads to a decrease in ATP levels, which can lead to cell death. The kinetic properties of Bz-Gly-Arg have been studied using sephadex G-100 chromatography and found the optimum pH for this protein is neutral. The polymerase chain reaction has also been used to study the sequence of amino acids in this protein, showing it contains amide bonds as well as peptides and biochemicals.>>END>>
