Latexin is a specific inhibitor of zinc-dependent metallocarboxypeptidases.
The deduced 222aa protein is an elongated molecule with N- and C-terminal domains that each consist of an alpha helix enveloped by a curved beta sheet.
The 2 domains are separated by a connecting segment.Lxn was less potent against other mammalian carboxypeptidases, and it did not inhibit other metallopeptidases or serine proteases
It also showed low specificity, inhibiting several metallocarboxypeptidases containing a characteristic alpha/beta hydrolase fold.
The inhibition constant was within the nanomolar range for these substrates.
LXN did not inhibit enzymes of other carboxypeptidase classes.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry.
