AAF-CMK (CAS 184901-82-4)

AAF-CMK is a serine protease inhibitor which irreversibly inhibits TPPII (tripeptidyl peptidase II), a giant protease which may substitute for some proteasome functions1, and reversibly inhibits Cln2 (TPPI). AAF-CMK shows only marginal inhibition of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome.
