Endotoxin Level : Not tested-

Biological Activity : Not tested

Storage : Short term: -20°C; Long term: -80°C. Minimize freeze and thaw cycles.

Research Area : Others

Restriction : For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures, drug use, or for administration to humans or animals.

Relevance : Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme rains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced). Following cleavage in the bait region a thioester bond is hydrolyzed and mediates the covalent binding of the protein to the proteinase.
