General description
6-Aminohexanoic acid, or 6-aminocaproic acid, acts as an inhibitor of serine proteases. It shares structural similarities with the natural amino acid lysine but lacks an α-amino group.
Application
6-Aminohexanoic acid has been used as a component of the growth medium for tenogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. It has also been used in the preparation of modified graphene quantum dots.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lysine analog. Promotes rapid dissociation of plasmin, thereby inhibiting the activation of plasminogen and subsequent fibrinolysis.
Lysine analog. Promotes rapid dissociation of plasmin, thereby inhibiting the activation of plasminogen and subsequent fibrinolysis. Reported to inhibit plasminogen binding to activated platelets. An early report indicated that it inhibits the activation of the first component of the complement system. Binds and inactivates Carboxypeptidase B.
Other Notes
Improves solubilization of membrane proteins in electrophoresis

A discontinuous electrophoretic system for the isolation of membrane proteins from acrylamide gels has been developed using equipment for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Coomassie dyes were introduced to induce a charge shift on the proteins and aminocaproic acid

Peptide agonists and antagonists of both bradykinin (BK) B(1) and B(2) receptors (B(1)R, B(2)R) are known to tolerate to a certain level N-terminal sequence extensions. Using this strategy, we produced and characterized the full set of fluorescent ligands by extending

Cells sense the rigidity of their substrate; however, little is known about the physical variables that determine their response to this rigidity. Here, we report traction stress measurements carried out using fibroblasts on polyacrylamide gels with Young's moduli ranging from
