Caspase-1 Substrate (Ac-YVAD-AFC) [1mM], Fluorometric

Description

Caspase-1 Substrate (Ac-YVAD-AFC) [1mM], Fluorometric

General description

This product is a ready-to-use fluorometric substrate for Caspase-1/ICE and related caspases that recognize the amino acid sequence YVAD. Caspase-1 and related caspase activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AFC after cleaved from the peptide substrate YVAD-AFC at Ex. = 400 nm and Em. = 505 nm, using a fluorometer or multi-well fluorescence plate reader. Alternatively, a shift in fluorescence from blue to green upon cleavage can be visualized, using a hand-held long-UV lamp.
