| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Amastatin is a slow, tight-binding inhibitor of aminopeptidases. It inhibits cytosolic leucine aminopeptidase (EC.3.4.11.1), microsomal aminopeptidase M (EC.3.4.11.2) and bacterial leucine aminopeptidase (EC.3.4.11.10). It is less effective against aminopeptidase A (EC 3.4.11.7), the enzyme that converts Angiotensin II to Angiotensin III. Effective concentration: 1-10 μM. |
