Pancreatic Leukocyte Elastase Substrate (MeOSuc-AAPV-4MbNA), aka Elastase Substrate 1, is a highly sensitive fluorogenic substrate for pancreatic leukocyte elastase (neutrophil elastase). Pancreatic leukocyte elastase is a serine proteinase that is secreted by neutrophils during inflammation to destroy bacteria as well as host tissue. MeOSuc-AAPV-4MbNA can be used for in vitro assays with purified enzyme or with biological fluids or conditioned medium.
This product is not a substrate for cathepsin G or chymotrypsin.
Activity is quantified by release of free fluorescent 4-Methoxy-β-naphthylamine (4MβNA) which excites at 335-350 nm and emits at 410-440 nm.
