Caspase-6 Substrate VEID-AFC (Ac-VEID-AFC)

Background: Ready-to-use fluorometric substrate for caspase-6 and related caspases that recognize the amino acid sequence VEID. Caspase-6 and related caspase activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AFC after cleavage from the peptide substrate VEID-AFC at Ex/Em = 400/505, 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. The ready-to-use caspase substrate provides an economic alternative for researchers who perform large amount of caspase-6 assays. Cell Lysis Buffer and 2X Reaction Buffer for caspase assays are also available separately.

Small volumes of Caspase-6 Substrate VEID-AFC biochemical vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
