General description

A novel cysteine protease inhibitor that specifically and efficiently inhibits processing of the p-Prl signal peptide (IC50 = ~ 50 nM) without affecting the activities of signal peptidases and other proteases such as lysosomal cathepsins and proteasomes.
A novel cysteine protease inhibitor that specifically and efficiently inhibits processing of the p-Prl signal peptide (IC50 ~50 nM) without affecting the activities of signal peptidases and other proteases such as lysosomal cathepsins and proteasomes. (Z-LL)2 ketone does not cause any modification of the proteasomal active site even at 100 µM levels; hence it does not block the action of the multicatalytic proteasome complex.
