PL553 is a specific and high-affinity fluorigenic substrate of Leukotriene A4 hydrolase, with a λmax of 210 nm and λem of 410 nm.
PL553 is a specific and high-affinity fluorigenic substrate of Leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H), with a maximum absorption (λmax) of 210 nm and maximum emission (λem) of 410 nm. PL553 is a better LTA4H substrate than (l)-Ala-β-naphthylamide, and resistant to cleavage by other aminopeptidases, but can be cleaved by FAAH. PL553 (40 μM) is used to evaluate the potencies of known inhibitors toward LTA4H[1].
