Caspase-5 Colorimetric Assay Kit

• Description:

  The Caspase-5 Colorimetric Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspase-5 and related caspases that recognize the sequence WEHD. The assay is based on spectrophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroaniline (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate WEHD-pNA. The pNA light emission can be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 400- or 405 nm.

• Features & Benefits:

  • Simple one-step procedure; takes only 1-2 hours • Fast and convenient • Comparison of the absorbance of pNA from a treated sample with an untreated control allows determination of the fold increase in Caspase-5 activity.
