| Product Name | Caspase-4 Colorimetric Assay Kit |
| Catalog No. | RESK-0178 |
| Description | Caspases are a family of proteases involved in apoptosis, comprising more than ten members. Caspase-4 can interact with Apaf-1 and participates in cytochrome c-induced activation of Caspase-3; it can also interact with caspase-14. |
| Intended Use | For the detection of Caspase-4 activity in mammalian tissues and cells; suitable for apoptosis research. |
| Principle / Technology | The assay is based on the specific hydrolysis of the peptide substrate LEVD-pNA (Leu-Glu-Val-Asp-p-nitroanilide) by Caspase-4. The released free p-nitroaniline (pNA) shows maximum absorbance at 405 nm, and Caspase-4 activity is determined by colorimetric measurement of pNA. |
| Detection Method | Colorimetric assay (visible spectrophotometry); absorbance read at 405 nm |
| Sample Type | Mammalian tissues and cells |
| Performance Range / Specifications | Caspase-4 activity is determined by visible-light colorimetric measurement of pNA. Suitable for the detection of Caspase-4 activity in mammalian tissues and cells. |
| Specificity | Based on the specific hydrolysis of the LEVD-pNA substrate by Caspase-4. |
| Storage Conditions | Part I: store at 2-8 °C Part II: store at -25 to -15 °C |
