Cathepsin E Activitu Assay

PTAK-016

The Cathepsin E Activity Assay Kit utilizes the ability of Cathepsin E to cleave a synthetic MCA-based peptide substrate to release free MCA, which can be easily quantified using a fluorometer or fluorescence microplate reader. In the presence of a Cathepsin E-specific inhibitor, the cleavage of the substrate is reduced/abolished resulting in decrease or total loss of the MCA fluorescence.

Useful for detecting the activity of Cathepsin E and screening/characterizing the potential inhibitors of Cathepsin E.
