Description
Description: Our Cell Meter™ assay kits are a set of tools for monitoring cellular functions. There are a variety of parameters that can be used. This particular kit is designed to monitor cell apoptosis by measuring caspase 9 activity. Caspase 9 is a member of the CED-3 subfamily. Activated Caspase-9 cleaves downstream caspases such as caspase-3, -6 and -7, initiating the caspase cascade. It is essential for apoptosis during normal development of the central nervous system. Caspase 9 is proven to have selectivity for the peptide sequence Leu-Glu-His-Asp (LEHD). This kit uses Ac-LEHD-ProRed™ as a fluorogenic indicator for caspase 9 activity. Cleavage of ProRed™ by caspase 9 generates strongly fluorescent ProRed™. The kit provides all the essential components. The assay is robust and can be readily adapted for high throughput screening. It can be used to either quantify the activated caspase 9 activities in apoptotic cells or screen the caspase 9 inhibitors. Quite a few labs have used this kit for high throughput screenings.
