SensoLyte® 520 beta-Secretase (BACE1) Activity Assay Kit

Produktnummer ABIN1882408

Produktdetails

Target: BACE1 (Beta-secretase 1 (BACE1))

Nachweismethode: Fluorometric

Applikation: Activation (Act), Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Microscopy (FRET)

Marke: SensoLyte®

Produktmerkmale: The SensoLyte® 520 beta-Secretase Assay Kit is a homogeneous assay that can be used to detect the activity of enzyme and for screening of secretase inhibitors. It contains a QXL® 520/ HiLyte Fluor™ 488 FRET substrate. The sequence of this FRET peptide is derived from the beta-secretase cleavage site on the Swedish APP mutation. This mutation causes the enhancement of beta-secretase to process APP, resulting in an early onset of AD. Active beta-secretase cleaves FRET substrate into two separate fragments resulting in the release of HiLyte Fluor™ 488 fluorescence that can be monitored at excitation/emission= 490/520 nm. The long wavelength fluorescence of HiLyte Fluor™ 488 is less interfered by the autofluorescence of components in biological samples and test compounds.

Hintergrund: Beta-Secretase is a membrane-anchored aspartic protease existing in acidic subcellular vesicles. It is a key player in producing beta-amyloid peptides through proteolytic cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). Accumulation of neurotoxic beta-amyloid peptide is seen in senile plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), an age-related cognitive disorder. Therefore, targeting beta-secretase is considered a potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention and treatment of AD.
