Application

Reagent for the irreversible inactivation of γ-cystathionase; affinity labeling reagent for γ-cystathionase and other enzymes; peptides containing this amino acid can be tritiated to high specific radioactivity

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-C-Propargylglycine, a specific inhibitor of H(2)S synthase of cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE), may be used to study the role of H2S in regulation of biological processes.

L-propargylglycine (PAG), an inhibitor of cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), is useful in studies of hydrogen sulphide synthesis and bioactivity.
