Bioactivity | Arphamenine B (hemisulfate) is a Zn2+-dependent exopeptidase that selectively removes arginine and/or lysine residues from the NH2-terminus of several peptide substrates. Arphamenine B (hemisulfate) Arphamenine B (hemisulfate) is an inhibitor of aminopeptidase B that can be isolated from bacteria. Arphamenine B (hemisulfate) enhances the immune response and is used to characterize novel proteases[1][2][3]. |
