Format
lyophilized powder
Additional information
One μg of inhibitor protein will inhibit the activity of ≥3 μg of carboxypeptidase A by 50% using hippuryl-L-phenylalanine as substrate at pH 7.5 at 25°C.
Solution
water: soluble 5 mg/mL, clear
Application
Lyophilized powder containing traces of sodium citrate and sodium chloride; balance primarily non-protein components.
Description
Broad-spectrum inhibition of carboxypeptidase from animal digestive tract, but little activity against plant and microbial carboxypeptidase. However, recent findings suggest that it may play a role in fighting microbial pathogens by preventing the digestion of proteins.
