| Application: | Aprotinin from bovine lung has been used in insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 assay. It has also been used a in western blotting. |
| Application: | Aprotinin is largely used as an inhibitor of trypsin. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Aprotinin is a competitive serine protease inhibitor that forms stable complexes with and blocks the active sites of enzyme. This binding is reversible, and most aprotinin-protease complexes will dissociate at extreme pH levels >10 or <3. Structurally, Aprotinin is a monomeric globular protein derived from bovine lung that consists of 58 amino acids, arranged in a single polypeptide chain with three crosslinking disulfide bridges. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Aprotinin is a natural polypeptide of 58 amino acids. It possesses hemostatic/antiplasmin action and helps to reduce bleeding during surgeries. This prevents the necessity of blood transfusion. |
