Description
Description: Caspases play important roles in apoptosis and cell signaling. The activation of Caspase 3/7 (CPP32/apopain) is important for the initiation of apoptosis. Caspase 3/7 is also identified as a drug-screening target. Caspase inhibitors have anti-cancer and other pharmalogical potentials. It has been proven that Caspase 3/7 has substrate selectivity for the peptide sequence Asp-Glu-Val-Asp (DEVD). Our Amplite® Colorimetric Caspase 3/7 Assay Kit uses (Z-DEVD)2R110 as the chromogenic indicator for assaying caspase 3/7 activity. R110 peptide sustrates are colorless. Cleavage of R110 peptides by caspases generates R110, a yellow color dye that can be monitored at 490-520 nm. The increase in the absorbance of caspase-induced R110 is proportional to the activities of caspases. This kit can be used to continuously measure the activities of caspase 3/7 in cell extracts and purified enzyme preparations with an absorbance microplate reader with much higher sensitivity than the other commercial kits that use DEVD-pNA peptide.
