Protease inhibitors
Protease inhibitors
Summary: Protease inhibitors used in protein extraction step.
Content: Protease inhibitors essential for prevent protein extracts from proteolysis, dephosphorylation, and other protein degradation/modification related activities.
Commonly used protease inhibitors include:
- EDTA (chelated calcium and magnesium ions)
- Sodium orthovanadate (tyrosine protein phosphatases inhibitor)
- Sodium fluoride (serine/threonine protein phosphatases inhibitor)
- Aprotinin
- Leupeptin (lysosomal protease inhibitor)
- Pepstatin (aspartic proteases inhibitor)
- PMSF (protease inhibitor)
Some vendors also provide cocktails or tablets of protease inhibitors. (Sigma, Roche etc)
