Pancreatic Leukocyte Elastase Substrate (MeOSuc-AAPV-AFC), aka Elastase Substrate 1, is a highly sensitive fluorogenic substrate for pancreatic leukocyte elastase (neutrophil elastase). Pancreatic leukocyte elastase is a serine proteinase that is secreted by neutrophils during inflammation to destroy bacteria as well as host tissue. MeOSuc-AAPV-AFC can be used for in vitro assays with purified enzyme or with biological fluids or conditioned medium.This product is not a substrate for cathepsin G or chymotrypsin.

Activity is quantified by release of free fluorescent 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC) which excites at 395-400 nm and emits at 495-505 nm.
