Product Description
Aprotinin inhibits the activity of several proteolytic enzymes such as chymotrypsin, kallikrein, plasmin and trypsin. It is present in blood and in most tissues, with a high concentration in lung, inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine release and maintains glycoprotein homeostasis. In platelets, Aprotinin reduces glycoprotein loss (e.g., GpIb, GpIIb/IIIa), while in granulocytes it prevents the expression of pro-inflammatory adhesive glycoproteins. Aprotinin is a natural proteinase inhibitor polypeptide consisting of fifty-eight amino acids arranged in a single polypeptide chain, cross-linked by three disulfide bridges. BioVisions Recombinant Bovine Aprotinin is an animal-origin free protein purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Activity (Specifications/test method): BioVisions Recombinant Bovine Aprotinin has been tested for its inhibitory activity against Trypsin and Plasmin using Trypsin Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit (K771-100) and Plasmin Inhibitor Screening Kit (Fluorometric) (K382-100). The inhibitory activity of Recombinant Bovine Aprotinin (IC50 = 10.7 nM) against Trypsin was comparable to that of native Bovine Aprotinin (IC50 = 9.6 nM). The IC50 of Recombinant Bovine Aprotinin against Plasmin was 15 nM.
Biological activity: The ED as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of thimidine uptake by BALB/c 3T3 cells is < 1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1 x 10 units/mg.
