    Product Description

    Ac-LETD-AFC is a fluorogenic substrate that can be cleaved specifically by caspase-8. Caspase activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AFC (also known as 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin), which is excited at 400 nm and emits at 505 nm.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
