CAS Number: 189275-74-9 Molecular Weight: 688.29 Salt Form: N/A Purity: >96% Sequence (3-letter): Ac-Trp-Val-Ala-Asp-AMC Sequence (1-letter): Ac-WVAD-AMC Storage: -20 °C or below
Ac-Trp-Val-Ala-Asp-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for Caspase 1. Caspase 1/Interleukin 1b converting enzyme (ICE) is a cysteine protease that cleaves specifically at aspartic acid.ICE converts inactive IL-1 beta precursor to a pro-inflammatory cytokine that mediates a wide range of immune and inflammatory response.ICE-related cysteine proteases are required for E1A-induced, p53-dependent apoptosis in baby rat kidney (BRK) cells. Adenovirus E1B 19K protein, which is a potent inhibitor of apoptosis, inhibits activation of these proteases in BRK cells.
Activity is quantified by release of free fluorescent 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) which excites at 360-380 nm and emits at 440-460 nm.
