CAS Number: 201608-14-2 Molecular Weight: 729.21 Salt Form: N/A Purity: >96% Sequence (3-letter): Ac-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-AFC Sequence (1-letter): Ac-DEVD-AFC Storage: -20 ?C or below Solubility: 50% acetic acid in water (5 mg/ml), DMF, DMSO, methanol, and slightly soluble in water (0.4 mg/ml). Ac-DEVD-AFC is a fluorogenic substrate for caspase-3. Caspase-3 is a protease that is rapidly activated during apoptosis and that cleaves several substrates, including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Cleavage of Ac-DEVD-AFC is monitored by measuring an increase in fluorescence signal due to AFC cleavage. The excitation and emission maxima for AFC are 400 nm and 505 nm, respectively.
