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.

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to 1 biological kallikrein inhibitor unit (KIU)
One Trypsin Inhibitor Unit (TIU) will decrease the activity of two trypsin units by 50%, where one trypsin unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of N-alpha-benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroanilide per minute at pH 7.8 and 25°C. Another commonly used unit is the KIU, with 1 TIU = 1,300 KIU.

Immunoblotting is a procedure routinely used to analyze calpastatin expression. However, immunoblotting alone may not be adequate for this task, since calpastatin isoforms can vary by tissue, can be modified by partial digestion, and can undergo posttranslational modifications. Here we
