Chymostatin

CAS 9076-44-2Biochemicals & Reagents

Chymostatin (CAS: 9076-44-2) is a proteinase inhibitor, specifically a peptide aldehyde. It acts by reversibly inhibiting serine proteases such as chymotrypsin and chymase. This biochemical reagent is commonly utilized in research settings to study protease function and mechanisms in biological systems. Its ability to modulate enzymatic activity makes it a valuable tool for biochemical and cell biology investigations.

IUPAC: N-(Nα-Carbonyl-Cpd-X-Phe-al)-Phe (Cpd = capreomycidine) (capreomycidine = [S,S]-α-(2-Iminohexahydro-4-pyrimidyl)glycine)
