Mca-PLAC(p-OMeBz)-WAR(Dpa)-NH2 is a fluorogenic substrate for matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14). Upon cleavage by MMP-14, 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl (Mca) is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify MMP activity. Mca displays excitation emission maxima of 328 420 nm, respectively.
Mca-Ala-Pro-Lys(Dnp)-OH, a specific quenched fluorogenic substrate for ACE2, enables the detection of ACE2 activity in various tissues including urinary, heart, and lung.
D-Ala-Lys-AMCA, a known substrate of proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter 1 (PEPT1), emits blue fluorescence and may be transported into Caco-2 cells and liver cancer cells.
L-Leu-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for leucine aminopeptidase.1Upon enzymatic cleavage by leucine aminopeptidase, AMC is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify leucine aminopeptidase activity. AMC displays excitation emission maxima of 340-360 440-460 nm, respectively. 1.Izquierdo, M., Lin, D., O’Neill, S., et al.Development of a high-throughput screening assay to identify inhibitors of the major M17-leucyl aminopeptidase from Trypanosoma cruzi using rapidfire mass spectrometrySLAS Discov.25(9)1064-1071(2020)
Z-(L-Arg)-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate for trypsin, cathepsin B, and cathepsin H.1,2Upon enzymatic cleavage by trypsin, cathepsin B, or cathepsin H, 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify trypsin, cathepsin B, and cathepsin H activity. AMC displays excitation emission maxima of 340-360 440-460 nm, respectively. 1.Zimmerman, M., Ashe, B., Yurewicz, E.C., et al.Sensitive assays for trypsin, elastase, and chymotrypsin using new fluorogenic substratesAnal.
