Z-YVAD-AFC Caspase-1 substrate Replaces Prod. #: BML-P406 Fluorogenic substrate for caspase-1. AFC has an excitation maximum of 400nm and an emission maximum of 505nm. This product is similar to Ac-YVAD-AMC, Prod. No. ALX-260-024, but the AFC fluorophore has a greater Stokes' shift upon cleavage and the N-terminal is blocked by a benzyloxycarbonyl moiety, which increases cell permeability. Product Specification Alternative Name: Caspase-1 substrate (fluorogenic) Sequence: Z-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-AFC (AFC = 7-Amido-4-trifluoromethylcoumari Formula: C39H40N5O11F3 MW: 811.8 Purity: ≥95% (HPLC). Single spot (TLC) Appearance: White to off-white powder. Solubility: Soluble in DMSO, DMF or methanol; insoluble in water.
