Description
7-Methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl-P-L-G-L-β-(2,4-dinitrophenylamino)A-R amide is a fluorogenic substrate for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). It is ceaved by an MMP to release the fluorescent moiety 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl (Mca), which can be used to quantify MMP activity.
Uses
MOCAc-PLGL(Dpa)AR is a positively charged fluorescent substrate for matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-7 and MMP-9. MOCAc-PLGL(Dpa)AR is a substrate of matrilysin, can be cleaved at the peptide bond between the glycine and leucine residues[1][2].
