General description

Substrate for carboxypeptidase B and carboxypeptidase N.

Application

Hippuryl-Arg has been used as a substrate for:
  • aminopeptidase from Trogoderma granarium
  • exopeptidase from Bactrocera oleae Gmelin, midgut of Plagiodera versicolora
  • carboxypeptidase from Pichia pastoris

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hippuryl-Arg is a synthetic substrate for carboxypeptidase B, and aminopeptidase. The enzyme carboxypeptidase acts on C terminal of arginine and lysine.

Carboxypeptidases (CP) in plasma and sera serve as regulators of anaphylatoxins such as C3a and C5a. The activity of CP can be measured by determining hippuric acid after cleavage of the small synthetic substrate hippuryl-L-arginine. Although a colorimetric assay is

Kininase I (carboxypeptidase N; EC 3.4.17.3) consists of carboxypeptidase N1 (CN1) and carboxypeptidase N2 (CN2); these two enzymes can be differentiated by their activities towards hippuryl-L-arginine and hippuryl-L-lysine, respectively. A spectrophotometric assay for both carboxypeptidases in human serum is described
