CAS Number: 219137-97-0Molecular Weight: 673.72Salt Form: N/APurity: >96%Sequence (3-letter): Ac-Val-Glu-Ile-Asp-AMCSequence (1-letter): Ac-VEID-AMCStorage: -20 °C or belowSolubility: DMSO, phosphate buffer pH 7.5

Ac-VEID-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for caspase 6 (Mch-2α), a member of the cysteine-aspartate protease family, which play a central role in the execution-phase of apoptosis. The excitation/emission maximum of AMC is 340-360/440-460 nm, respectively. Ac-VEID-AMC is based on lamin A site of cleavage.
