Na-Benzoyl-DL-arginine β-Naphthylamide Hydrochloride(CAT: C000059) is a chemical compound commonly utilized as a substrate in enzymatic assays to assess the activity of trypsin-like serine proteases, particularly in laboratory research settings. Upon hydrolysis by these enzymes, it liberates β-naphthylamine, which can be quantified spectrophotometrically.
