Tight-binding, reversible, highly selective inhibitor of acid proteases (aspartyl peptidases), like pepsin, gastricsin, cathepsin E and D, renin, chymosin, bacterial aspartic proteinases and HIV proteases. Does not inhibit thiol proteases, neutral proteases or serine proteases. Widely used as a…

Pepstatin A is a reversible inhibitor of aspartic proteases, Inhibitor for pepsin, renin, cathepsin D, cathepsin G, and other acid proteases. It does not inhibit thiol proteases, neutral proteases or serine proteases. Pepstatin forms a 1:1 complex with acid proteases (carboxyl proteases). …
