Enzo Life Sciences Ac-WEHD-pNA (5mg)
Colorimetric caspase substrate. Combinatorial studies have found the WEHD sequence to be optimal for clevage of tetrapeptide substrate by caspase-1, caspase-4, caspase-5 and caspase-14. Cleavage of the substrate by a caspase releases pNA, which can be detected by its absorbance at 405nm. Alternative name: Caspase 1 substrate (chromogenic), Caspase 5 substrate (chromogenic). Formula: C34H37N9O11. MW: 747.7. Purity: ≥98% (HPLC). Formulation: Lyophilized. Solubility: Soluble in DMSO. Dilute with buffer, pH 7.5. Long Term Storage: -20°C.
