(L-3-TRANS-CARBOXYOXIRANE-2-CARBONYL)-L-LEUCYLAGMATINE HEMIHYDRATE

Использование

It is used as a broad spectrum cysteine proteinase and calpain activation inhibitor. Additionally, Prevotella intermediate studies report that E-64 blocks the breakdown of methaemoglobin and the oxidation of oxyhaemoglobin by InpA. E-64 has also been used to study excystation in Giardia lamblia. E-64 is an inhibitor of Calpain, cathepsin K and cathepsin S. E-64 is an effective ligand for affinity purification of cysteine proteases. When coupled to a thiolated affinity matrix, binding is no longer irreversible, but specificity is retained

Общее описание

E-64 is a cysteine protease inhibitor that was isolated from the mold Aspergillus japonicus TPR-64. E-64 is also known as N-[N-(L-3-trans-carboxyoxiran-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]-agmatine. E-64 effectively inhibits various cysteine proteases, in particular:

• cathepsin K
• cathepsin L
• cathepsin S

E-64 also acts against other enzymes, such as:

• calpain
• cathepsin B
• cathepsin H
• papain

Опасность

A reproductive hazard.
