20S Proteasome Kit, human RBC
Catalog number: SBB-KP0038
This kit is designed to test for specific activity of 20S proteasome. The kit provides purified 20S proteasome and is designed to test for Chymotrypsin-like activity (Suc-LLVY-AMC), Caspase-like activity of the proteasome subunits ß1/PSMB6 (LLE-AMC), and Chymotrypsin-like activity of ß5/PSMB5 (WLA-AMC).

Description
This kit is designed to test for specific activity of 20S proteasome. The kit provides purified 20S proteasome and is designed to test for Chymotrypsin-like activity (Suc-LLVY-AMC), Caspase-like activity of the proteasome subunits ß1/PSMB6 (LLE-AMC), and Chymotrypsin-like activity of ß5/PSMB5 (WLA-AMC). Additionally we have included the compound, MG-132, which can be used to inhibit the proteasome. All peptide substrates are conjugated to AMC, which upon proteasome catalyzed hydrolyses display fluorescence at Excitation = 345 nm, Emission = 445 nm; allowing for a real-time read out of 20S proteasome specific activity.
