Product Description

CAS Number: 169332-61-0 Molecular Weight: 675.24 Salt Form: TFA Purity: >95% Sequence (3-letter): Ac-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-AMC Sequence (1-letter): Ac-DEVD-AMC Storage: -20 ?C or below Ac-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for Caspase 3 (Apopain). Caspase 3 is a cysteine protease that is rapidly activated during apoptosis and that cleaves several substrates, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Caspase 3 is activated by Caspases 8, 9 and 10 and cleaves and activates caspase 6 and 7. Caspase 3 cleaves the amyloid precursor protein (APP) contributing to Amyloid beta formation and has been implicated in Alzheimer?s disease and proposed as a target for drug discovery. Activity is quantified by release of free fluorescent 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) which excites at 360-380 nm and emits at 440-460 nm.
