Arphamenine B (CAS 144110-38-3)
QUICK LINKS
Arphamenine B is a compound of interest in biochemical research due to its unique mechanism as an inhibitor of aminopeptidase B, an enzyme involved in protein and peptide metabolism. This characteristic makes arphamenine B useful for probing the role of aminopeptidase B in biological processes, including protein degradation and hormone regulation. Its inhibitory properties are also leveraged in enzymology studies to better understand the substrate specificity and catalytic mechanisms of this class of enzymes. In plant biology, researchers investigate arphamenine B′s effects on various physiological processes, considering its potential to modulate peptide-mediated signaling pathways. Its ability to influence aminopeptidase activity has implications for research into metabolic pathways and can provide insights into the development of novel research tools for biotechnology applications.
