Description

ApplicationHemostat.6,7 Used as a lysine analogue to characterize binding sites in plasminogen.8,9
Packaging100, 500 g in poly btl
 5 g in glass btl
Biochem/physiol ActionsLysine analog. Promotes rapid dissociation of plasmin, thereby inhibiting the activation of plasminogen and subsequent fibrinolysis.1,2 Reported to inhibit plasminogen binding to activated platelets.3 An early report indicated that it inhibits the activation of the first component of the complement system.4 Binds and inactivates Carboxypeptidase B.5
