QUICK LINKS

TLCK hydrochloride, or Tosyllysine Chloromethyl Ketone hydrochloride, is an active site-directed agent that irreversibly inhibits trypsin-like serine proteases such as granzyme D and tryptase. Cysteine proteinases and other enzymes may be inhibited by TLCK hydrochloride through non-selectively acting with thiol groups. To prevent proteolytic degradation, TLCK hydrochloride may be employed in protein purification protocols. It selectively inactivates clostripain obtained from C. histolyticum and inhibits other proteases including plasmin, thrombin, and papain and some kinases like PKC. TLCK hydrochloride inhibits LPS-induced expression of COX-2 in macrophages.
