Product Description
Based on the detection of AFC (7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin) after cleavage from the labelled substrate VEID-AFC.
General Information
VEID-AFC emits blue light (λmax = 400nm); upon cleavage of the substrate by caspase-6 or related caspases, free AFC emits a yellow-green fluorescence (λmax = 505nm), which can be quantified using a fluorometer or a fluorecence microtiter plate reader. Comparison of the fluorescence of AFC from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in caspase-6 activity.

General Information
When expressed in E. coli, caspase-7 spontaneously undergoes autoprocessing to yield the subunits characteristic of the active enzyme.
The rate of caspase-7 enzymatic hydrolysis can be measured by the release of AMC from the caspase substrate Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No. ALX-260-031) as emission at 440nm and excitation at 380nm using a spectrofluorometer [1].
BACKGROUND/TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Enzyme Evaluation Protocol
This protocol is used to measure caspase enzyme activity [1]. The synthetic fluorogenic peptide Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No. ALX-260-031) is used as the caspase enzyme substrate. The enzyme cleaves the substrate releasing the fluorescent AMC (7-amino-4-methylcoumarin). AMC release can be measured by spectrofluorometry using UV.

1. Add 20mM of Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No. ALX-260-031) to 1ml of assay buffer (20mM PIPES, 100mM sodium chloride, 10mM DTT, 1mM EDTA, 0.1% (w/v) CHAPS, 10% sucrose, pH 7.2). Add the appropriate amount of  active caspase to the mixture (50ng/ml).
2. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
3. Measure the AMC liberated from the Ac-DEVD-AMC using a spectrofluorometer with an excitation wavelength of 380nm and an emission wavelength of 440nm.

Note: Enzyme activity can also be measured using the caspase enzyme substrate Ac-DEVD-pNA (Prod. No. ALX-260-033) at 37°C in a spectromax at 405nm wavelength.

General Information
Caspase-8 is a member of the interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. Same as other caspases, caspase-7 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During apoptosis procaspase-8 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by another caspase. The processed form of caspase-8 consists of large and small subunits which associate to form the active enzyme.

General Information
Caspase-9 (also known as Ice-Lap6 and Mch6) is a member of the interleukin-1b converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. Similar as other caspases, caspase-9 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During the initiation of apoptosis procaspase-9 is processed at aspartate residues to form active caspase-9. As one of the initiator caspases, active caspase-9 functions to trigger the activation of downstream effector caspases, leading to disassembly of cell structures. The active recombinant caspase-9 is routinely tested for its ability to enzymatically cleave the caspase-9 colorimetric substrate Ac-LEHD-pNA (Prod. No. ALX-260-081).
