Z-Gly-Gly-Arg 4-methoxy-β-naphthylamide hydrochloride
Z-Gly-Gly-Arg 4-methoxy-β-naphthylamide hydrochloride (CAS: 63424-41-9; Formula: C29H35N7O6 · HCl; MW: 614.09) is a synthetic peptide derivative primarily utilised as a chromogenic substrate. It is instrumental in the quantitative determination of enzyme activity, particularly urokinase, due to its ability to release a coloured product upon enzymatic cleavage. This compound is a valuable reagent in biochemical research, cell biology studies, and investigations into coagulation and related enzymatic pathways.

Chromogenic Substrate for Enzyme Assays
This compound serves as a chromogenic substrate for quantifying enzyme activity. Upon enzymatic hydrolysis by specific proteases, such as urokinase, it releases 4-methoxy-β-naphthylamine, which can be measured spectrophotometrically.
Biochemical Research
It is employed in fundamental biochemical research to study enzyme kinetics and mechanisms. Its use helps elucidate the roles of proteases in various biological processes and pathways.
Cell Biology Studies
Used in cell biology to investigate cellular processes involving proteolytic enzymes, including cell signalling and extracellular matrix remodelling. It aids in understanding enzyme function within cellular environments.
Coagulation Research
This substrate is relevant in research related to the coagulation cascade and fibrinolysis. Its application can help in the study of enzymes involved in blood clotting and clot dissolution.
