Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor, powder

Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor (SBTI) is used in research primarily to inactivate trypsin during cell culture to stop the enzyme from degrading cells and to study its biological functions like anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antiviral activities. Additionally, it can be used as a loading control in western blotting or to study pancreatic enzyme secretion feedback mechanisms.

Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor is one of several protease inhibitors found in soybeans. Trypsin is inhibited at a molar ratio of 1:1, while chymotrypsin and plasmin are inhibited to a lesser extent. Soybean trypsin inhibitor will also inhibit other serine proteases. Captivate Bio's Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor stock solution should be made by dissolving powder in Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS), without calcium and magnesium. Filter sterilize the stock solution and store for up to a week at 2 - 8°C.
