Popular Activation Assay Component

Material：
       Protease Inhibitor Cocktail is supplied as a white lyophilized powder. The cocktail contains the following protease inhibitors, Pepstatin A, Leupeptin, Benzamidine, Na-p-tosyl-L-arginine methyl ester (TAME). At 1X final working concentration the inhibitors are at 1 µM, 1.5 µM, 1 mM and 0.4 mM respectively.

Mode of Action：
       pepstatin A Reversibly inhibits some aspartic proteases
       Leupeptin Reversibly inhibits trypsin like serine and some cysteine proteases
       Benzamidine Inhibits serine proteases
       TAME Inhibits arginine proteases, a thrombin and trypsin inhibitor

Storage and Reconstitution：
       Lyophilized Protease Inhibitor Cocktail is stable at 4°C desiccated (<10% humidity) for 1 year.
       Each tube of Protease Inhibitor Cocktail should be resuspended in 1ml of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to give a 100X strength stock. The reconstituted stock can be stored at 4°C for up to 6 months or at -70°C for up to 1 year.
