Z-D-ARG-GLY-ARG-PNA 2 HCL

Description

Z-D-Arg-Gly-Arg-pNA is a colorimetric substrate for Factor Xa.^1,2 Factor Xa preferentially binds to and cleaves the Arg-Gly-Arg (RGR) peptide sequence to release p-nitroanilide (pNA), which can be quantified by colorimetric detection at 405 nm as a measure of Factor Xa activity.

Uses

Z-D-Arg-Gly-Arg-pNA Dihydrochloride is a reagent used in the preparation and testing of tripeptides and intermediates (arginine-containing) as reagent for the determination of serine protease.
