Caspase-10 Colorimetric Assay Kit

• Cat.No.: Kit-0156
• Product Overview: Colorimetric assay kit for caspase-10 activity

Specification

• Size: 100 assay
• Description: Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. The Caspase-10 Colorimetric Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence AEVD. The assay is based on spectrophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroanilide (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate AEVD-pNA. The pNA light emission can be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 400-or 405-nm.
• Applications: Detect early/middle stages of apoptosis; differentiate apoptosis from necrosis.
• Target Species: Mammal
• Usage: For research use only. Not intended for any diagnostic or therapeutic purpose.
• Storage: Store at -20°C. Product has an expected shelf life of 6-12 months.
• Kit Components: Cell Lysis Buffer;2X Reaction Buffer;AEVD-pNA (4 mM);DTT (1 M);Dilution Buffer
• Detection method: Spectrophotometer (OD-400-or 405-nm) or a microtiter plate reader
• Compatible Sample Types: Cell and tissue lysates
• Features & Benefits: 1. Simple one-step procedure; takes only 1-2 hours.2. Fast and convenient.3. Comparison of the absorbance of pNA from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in AEVD-dependent Caspase activity.
