Pepstatin A for Protease Research
2026-08-28
Pepstatin A is a practical aspartic protease inhibitor for separating cathepsin D, viral protease, renin, and pepsin biology from unrelated proteolytic pathways. Its strongest value is experimental discrimination: combined with lysosomal imaging and orthogonal cell-death readouts, it can reveal whether an observed phenotype depends on an aspartic protease rather than serving as a nonspecific substitute for cathepsin B inhibition.
