General description

A reversible inhibitor of trypsin-like proteases and cysteine proteases. Also known to inhibit activation-induced programmed cell death and to restore defective immune response in HIV⁺ donors. Often used for the inhibition of endoproteinase Lys-C, kallikrein, papain, plasmin, thrombin, cathepsin B, and trypsin. Leupeptin does not inhibit chymotrypsin, elastase, renin, or pepsin. The recommended working range is 10-100 µM for most applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: no

Primary Target
trypsin- and cysteine-like proteases

Product does not compete with ATP.

Reversible: yes

Preparation Note

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long term storage or refrigerate (4°C) for short term storage. Aqueous stock solutions are stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or for up to 1 month at -20°C.

Morphine disrupts macrophage functions even during HIV infection.

John M Barbaro et al.

Journal of leukocyte biology, 112(5), 1317-1328 (2022-10-08)

HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (HIV-NCI) is a debilitating comorbidity that reduces quality of life in 15-40% of people with HIV (PWH) taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). Opioid use has been shown to increase neurocognitive deficits in PWH. Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) harbor HIV

Acetylation-dependent coupling between G6PD activity and apoptotic signaling.

Fang Wu et al.

Nature communications, 14(1), 6208-6208 (2023-10-06)

Lysine acetylation has been discovered in thousands of non-histone human proteins, including most metabolic enzymes. Deciphering the functions of acetylation is key to understanding how metabolic cues mediate metabolic enzyme regulation and cellular signaling. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the rate-limiting enzyme

Protocol to measure protein-RNA binding using double filter-binding assays followed by phosphorimaging or high-throughput sequencing.

Joel Vega-Badillo et al.

STAR protocols, 4(2), 102336-102336 (2023-06-04)

Binding affinity quantitatively describes the strength of a molecular interaction and is reported by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD). Here, we present a protocol to measure KD of mammalian microRNA-loaded Argonaute2 protein by double filter binding. We describe steps for

Vacuole fragmentation depends on a novel Atg18-containing retromer-complex.

Lisa Marquardt et al.

Autophagy, 19(1), 278-295 (2022-05-17)

The yeast PROPPIN Atg18 folds as a β-propeller with two binding sites for phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) and PtdIns(3,5)P2 at its circumference. Membrane insertion of an amphipathic loop of Atg18 leads to membrane tubulation and fission. Atg18 has known functions at the

Generation of transgenic Xenopus using restriction enzyme-mediated integration.

Mohammad Haeri et al.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 884, 17-39 (2012-06-13)

Transgenesis, the process of incorporating an exogenous gene (transgene) into an organism's genome, is a widely used tool to develop models of human diseases and to study the function and/or regulation of genes. Generating transgenic Xenopus is rapid and involves
