Suitable as substrate for proteolytic enzymes and useful for post-electrophoretic detection of proteases.
Azocasein is an inflammatory agent that is used to induce amyloid A amylooidosis in experimental animals.
Chromogenic substrate for proteolytic activity; Digestion results in the formation of colored components, which are soluble in trichloroacetic acid and determined (after neutralization) in the range 366 to 450 nm.
Can be used to induce secondary amyloidosis in mice, in studies of amyloid protein processing.
