Application

Benzamidine was used in the preparation of heparan sulfate-rich proteoglycan from mouse mammary epithelial cells. It has been used to prevent enzymatic degradation during the purification procedure of bovine factor XII (Hageman factor).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Benzamidine is an inhibitor of plasmin and has been used in the radioimmunoassay of glucagon in human plasma. It prevents the destruction of Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) added to whole blood in vitro before radioimmunoassay of TRH.

Several focal adhesion proteins are known to cooperate with integrins to link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton; as a result, many intracellular signaling pathways are activated and several focal adhesion complexes are formed. However, how these proteins function

Mouse mammary epithelial cells, of the normal murine mammary gland (NMuMG) cell line, bear a heparan sulfate-rich proteoglycan (HSPG) on their surfaces. A hybridoma (281-2) secreting a monoclonal antibody that recognizes this HSPG was produced by fusion of SP-2/0 myeloma
