General description

Recombinant, bovine aprotinin supplied without animal-derived components. Aprotinin is a competitive, reversible inhibitor of proteolytic and esterolytic activity. A relatively heat- and acid-stable serine protease inhibitor. Forms a tight complex, blocking the active site of the enzyme. Effective at concentrations equimolar with protease. Inhibits several proteases, including coagulation factors in the prephase of blood clotting, tissue and leukocytic proteinases, chymotrypsin, trypsin (Kd = 5 x 10-14 M), plasmin (Kd = 2.3 x 10-10 M), and kallikrein (Kd = 1 x 10-7 M). Proteases not inhibited by aprotinin include Factor Xa, thrombin, pepsin, papain, and carboxypeptidases A and B. Useful for protein purification and for extending the life of cells in culture by preventing proteolytic damage.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Unit Definition

One TIU (Trypsin Inhibitory Unit) will decrease the activity of two trypsin units by 50% where one trypsin unit will hydrolyze 1.0 µmole of Nα-benzoyl-L-Arginine-p-Nitroanilide (L-BAPNA) per minute at pH 7.8 at 25°C.

Physical form

Contains no animal-derived components.

Macroautophagy/autophagy is a central component of the cytoprotective cellular stress response. To enlighten stress-induced autophagy signaling, we screened a human kinome siRNA library for regulators of autophagic flux in MCF7 human breast carcinoma cells and identified the catalytic subunit of
