Gly-Arg-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for cathepsin C.1 Upon enzymatic cleavage by cathepsin C, 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify cathepsin C activity. AMC displays excitation/emission maxima of 340-360/440-460 nm, respectively. |1. Rubach, J.K., Cui, G., Schneck, J.L., et al. The amino-acid substituents of dipeptide substrates of cathepsin C can determine the rate-limiting steps of catalysis. Biochemistry 51(38), 7551-7568 (2012).
Aminopeptidase N (AP-N) inhibitor is a reversible inhibitor of AP-N CD13 (IC50 = 25 μM). It is selective for AP-N CD13 over matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and the serine proteases dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) and cathepsin G at a concentration of 1 mM. AP-N inhibitor is non-cytotoxic to U937 cells at a concentration of 100 μM.
Eglin c (60-63) is a sequence of a peptide that has been studied for its inhibitory activity towards human leukocyte elastase, cathepsin G, porcine pancreatic elastase and alpha-chymotrypsin.
