L-Leucine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin hydrochloride;

L-Leucine (4-methyl-7-coumarinylamide) hydrochloride; H-Leu-AMC · HCl

Fluorogenic substrate for leucine aminopeptidase.

L-Leu-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for leucine aminopeptidase. Upon enzymatic cleavage by leucine aminopeptidase, AMC is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify leucine aminopeptidase activity. AMC displays excitation/emission maxima of 340-360/440-460 nm, respectively.

L-Leucine 7-Amido-4-methylcoumarin Hydrochloride is a fluorogenic substrate for LAP3 (leucine aminopeptidase). Upon enzyme activity, a bright blue fluorescent dye, 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin, is released.

L-Leucine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin hydrochloride salt is a protease inhibitor that has been shown to inhibit the activity of serine proteases. It has been shown to have potential as a drug target, and has also been shown to be effective in wastewater treatment. The biochemical properties of L-Leucine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin hydrochloride salt have been investigated using sephadex G-100 chromatography and phosphatase activity assays. This molecule has also been shown to affect physiological function and enzyme activities in rats. L-Leucine 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin hydrochloride salt is metabolized by microbial enzymes, such as proteases, which may produce ATP as an energy source.
