| Application: | 6-Aminohexanoic acid has been used as a component of the growth medium for tenogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. It has also been used in the preparation of modified graphene quantum dots. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lysine analog. Promotes rapid dissociation of plasmin, thereby inhibiting the activation of plasminogen and subsequent fibrinolysis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lysine analog. Promotes rapid dissociation of plasmin, thereby inhibiting the activation of plasminogen and subsequent fibrinolysis. Reported to inhibit plasminogen binding to activated platelets. An early report indicated that it inhibits the activation of the first component of the complement system. Binds and inactivates Carboxypeptidase B. |
| General description: | 6-Aminohexanoic acid, or 6-aminocaproic acid, acts as an inhibitor of serine proteases. It shares structural similarities with the natural amino acid lysine but lacks an α-amino group. |
| Other Notes: | Improves solubilization of membrane proteins in electrophoresis |
