Description
Dabcyl-YVADAPV-EDANS is a fluorogenic substrate for caspase-1. Upon enzymatic cleavage by caspase-1. EDANS is released upon enzymatic cleavage by caspase-1 at the Ala-Ser site, of which the fluorescence can be used to quantify caspase-1 activity.
Uses
Dabcyl-YVADAPV-EDANS is a fluorogenic interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) substrate for measuring ICE-like protease activity. Dabcyl-YVADAPV-EDANS detects fluorescence at 360 nm excitation and 480 nm emission wavelengths. ICE-like protease is a critical mediator of K+ deprivation-induced apoptosis of cerebellar granule neurons[1].
