Z-L-Lys-SBzl hydrochloride has been used as a thioesther substrate in photometric assay and as substrate in determining mast cell protease enzyme activity.
ChEBI: Z-L-Lys-SBzl hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of thiobenzyl benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysinate. It is a substrate for a sensitive colorimetric assay for trypsin-like enzymes. It contains a thiobenzyl benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysinate(1+).
N-α-Cbz-L-lysine thiobenzyl ester (Z-L-Lys-SBzl) is used to identify and characterize specific protease/esterase/granzyme activities associated with lymphocyte cytoplasmic granules.
