Ac-Pro-Ala-Leu-AMC (PAL-AMC)

Catalog number: SBB-PS0007, 2 mg

Ac-PAL-AMC is a fluorogenic peptidyl substrate for measuring caspase-like activity of the immunoproteasome. Hydrolysis of this substrate by the β1i subunit of the immunoproteasome is monitored by observing fluorescence at an Excitation wavelength of 345nm and Emission at 445nm. [1][2][3][4]

Description

Ac-PAL-AMC (Acetyl-Pro-Ala-Leu-AMC) is a 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin labeled fluorogenic peptidyl substrate hydrolyzed by the β1i subunit of the 20S immunoproteasome. Peptidylglutamyl-peptide hydrolyzing (Caspase-like) activity can be measured using a working concentration of 20-50μM substrate. This substrate is specific to the immunoproteasome, and is not hydrolyzed efficiently by the constitutive proteasome. Cleavage of this peptide by the immunoproteasome or other enzymes liberates the fluorophore AMC causing a strong fluorescent signal which is detected at an Excitation wavelength of 345nm and Emission wavelength of 445nm. 20S Proteasome enzyme requires activation with 0.035% SDS in the assay buffer.
