The Homogeneous Caspase-6 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure Caspase-6 activity for screening and profiling applications. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent Caspase-6 activity measurements. In addition, the kit includes purified Caspase-6 enzyme and a potent Caspase-6 inhibitor, Ac-IETD-CHO, for use as a positive and negative control. Using this kit, only one simple step on a microtiter plate is needed to analyze the Caspase-6 activity level. The fluorogenic substrate, Ac-VEID-AFC, is incubated with purified Caspase-6 and the enzymatic activity releases AFC fluorophore that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.
