Z-LR-AMC Fluorogenic Peptide Substrate Summary

Product Specifications

Activity
The peptide substrate contains a highly fluorescent 7-amino-4-methyl coumarin (AMC) group that is efficiently quenched by the amide bond formed between its amino group and the carboxyl group of the Arg residue. It can be used to measure the activities of peptidases that are capable of cleaving this amide bond, causing an increase in fluorescence. It is an excellent substrate for many cathespins. For example, it has been used to assay following recombinant human or mouse cathespins (rhCathespins or rmCathespins) followed by Catalog # in parentheses: rhCathepsin B (953-CY), rmCathepsin B (965-CY), rhCathepsin L (952-CY), and rhCathepsin V (1080-CY).

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.
