    Product Description

    Suc-YVAD-pNA is a colorimetric substrate for caspase-1/interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE) and caspase-4.1 Caspase-1 and caspase-4 preferentially bind to and cleave the Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp (YVAD) peptide sequence to release p-nitroanilide (pNA), which can be quantified by colorimetric detection at 405 nm as a measure of caspase-1 and caspase-4 activity.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
