Elastin, FITC Conjugated – 1 mg

Overview

The Elastin, FITC Conjugated substrate offers researchers a powerful tool for studying elastin degradation. This soluble bovine neck ligament elastin is heavily labeled with FITC, resulting in quenched fluorescence until enzymatic digestion occurs. Utilizing elastase or other proteases, you can recover the fluorescence, providing a real-time view of the degradation process. This substrate’s ability to yield continuous kinetic data makes it a valuable addition to any laboratory focused on protein analysis and enzymatic activity.

Key Features

• Soluble bovine neck ligament elastin.
• FITC conjugation for effective fluorescence monitoring.
• Fluorescence recovery upon digestion by elastase or proteases.
• Continuous assay design for easy kinetics data collection.
• Compatible with a range of proteases beyond elastase.

FAQ

How does the fluorescence recovery work?

The fluorescence is initially quenched due to the FITC labeling. When elastase or proteases digest the elastin substrate, the fluorescence is restored, allowing for easy monitoring of enzymatic activity.

Can I use this substrate with other proteases?

Yes, while elastin is specifically targeted by elastase, the elastin derivative can also be digested by various other proteases, enhancing its versatility in experimental applications.

Where can I find more fluorogenic substrates?

You can explore our full range of fluorogenic substrates to find suitable options tailored to your research needs.
