Overview
Meet your research needs with our Caspase 8 Substrate 1a finely tuned chromogenic substrate specifically designed for granzyme B detection. This pNA-derived caspase substrate is ideal for those investigating caspase activities. When granzyme B cleaves the pNA peptide, it produces a chromogenic product that can be quantitatively measured at approximately 405 nm, which is reflective of its maximum absorption around 408 nm. This substrate allows for precise and efficient monitoring of caspase activity, which is crucial in apoptosis studies and various disease models.
