Pepstatin A

Pepstatin A is a potent, specific inhibitor of aspartic proteases, supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is widely used in biochemical and molecular biology research to prevent proteolytic degradation of proteins during extraction, purification, or enzymatic studies.

This inhibitor is commonly employed in experiments involving pepsin, renin, cathepsin D, and other aspartic proteases. Its high purity and consistent activity make it suitable for enzymatic assays, protein preservation, and studies of protease function in various biological systems.

Pepstatin A is intended for laboratory and research use only and is not suitable for human or animal consumption. Proper handling and storage are recommended to maintain inhibitor potency and stability.
