QUICK LINKS

Aprotinin is a single chain polypeptide (58 amino-acids) crosslinked by three disulfide bridges, showing competitive and reversible inhibiton of proteolytic and esterolytic activity. Aprotinin forms stable complexes and blocks the active sites of serine protease enzymes. Binding is reversible with most aprotinin-protease complexes dissociating at pH >10 or < 3 (optimum pH 5-7) effective concentration is equimolar with protease. Aprotinin is used as a proteolytic inhibitor in radioimmunoassays of polypeptide hormones. Aprotinin can also be a competitive inhibitor of nNOS and iNOS with Ki values of 50 and 78uM.

What is the shelf life of sc-3595? How long is it stable?

Asked by: Jz28sail
Thank you for your question. The shelf life of sc-3595, Aprotinin, is dependent on handling and storage. Solutions are less stable than the lyophilized powder, but Lyophilized Aprotinin, stored at 4&deg;C, is stable at least one year from date of purchase. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Technical Service department by calling 800-457-3801 option 2, emailing scbt@scbt.com, or using the Live Chat function on our website.
