Biological Activity

Description Leupeptin Hemisulfate is a reversible inhibitor of serine and cysteine proteases. It inhibits cathepsin B (Ki = 6 nM), calpain (Ki = 10 nM), trypsin (Ki = 35 nM), plasmin (Ki = 3.4 μM), and kallikrein (Ki = 19 μM), and has no effect against chymotrypsin, elastase, renin, or pepsin.
Targets
Cysteine protease [1] serine protease [1]
In vitro

Leupeptin, produced by various species of actinomycetes, strongly inhibit proteolysis. [1]

Leupeptin hemisulfate protects tubulin from endogenous proteolytic activities during the isolation procedure and results in increased tubulin purity. [2]

Leupeptin hemisulfate could restore up to 50% of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) expression in cell suspension cultures. [3]
