E-64, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Selective and irreversible cysteine protease inhibitor

It is used as a broad spectrum cysteine proteinase and calpain activation inhibitor. Additionally, Prevotella intermediate studies report that E-64 blocks the breakdown of methaemoglobin and the oxidation of oxyhaemoglobin by InpA. E-64 has also been used to study excystation in Giardia lamblia. E-64 is an inhibitor of Calpain, cathepsin K and cathepsin S. E-64 is an effective ligand for affinity purification of cysteine proteases. When coupled to a thiolated affinity matrix, binding is no longer irreversible, but specificity is retained
