Z-IETD-aminoluciferin
Z-IETD-aminoluciferin is a luminogenic substrate that measures caspase-6 and granzyme B activities in apoptotic cells. Caspases, a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases, are key regulators of apoptosis, orchestrating the initiation and execution of cellular disassembly through the cleavage of specific cellular proteins. The tetrapeptide sequence IETD in this substrate is specific for protease cleavage by caspase-6. Following caspase-6 activation, the IETD peptide is cleaved just after the aspartic acid residue (D), releasing aminoluciferin, which serves as a luminescent substrate for the luciferase reaction. The intensity of the bioluminescent signal is directly proportional to the amount of caspase-6 activity in the sample, making it a valuable tool for researchers to study and quantify apoptotic processes, screen potential drug candidates, and investigate various cellular pathways related to cell death and survival.
