Description
TAME (1784-03-8) binds to the ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex (APC) preventing its activation by Cdc20 and Cdh1 and resulting in mitotic arrest.1,2
Chemical Properties
white fine crystalline powder
Uses
N-4-Tosyl-L-arginine Methyl Ester Hydrochloride acts as a synthetic substrate of serine proteases and thus is used to determine serine proteases from diverse organic sources.
Uses
Substrate for trypsin, thrombin, plasmin and other proteases.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Nα-p-Tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (TAME) binds to anaphase-promoting complex (APC) and prevents its activation by Cdc20 and Cdh1.
