N-(Benzyloxycarbonyl)-L-proline is a potent inhibitor of prolidase; a specific peptidase that cleaves dipeptides with a C-terminal prolyl and hydroxylprolyl residue. It is also used in the synthesis of N-(L-Prolyl)-β-alanine which is a derivative of the naturally occurring beta amino acid β-Alanine.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
