Z-IETD-pNA *CAS 219138-21-3*
Z-IETD-pNA is a colorimetric caspase-8/granzyme B substrate containing the benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) moiety. This substrate is hydrlyzed by caspase 8 to generate highly colored pNA that is measured at 405 nm by an absorption microplate reader or spectrophotometer.
Example protocol
AT A GLANCE
Important notes
It is important to store at <-15 °C and should be stored in cool, dark place.
It can be used within 12 months from the date of receipt.
PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTION
Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
1. Z-IETD-pNA stock solution (10 mM):
Prepare a 10 mM stock solution in DMSO.
PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION
2X caspase substrate (50 μM) assay solution as the following:
| Component | Volume |
| Z-IETD-pNA substrate stock solution | 50 µL |
| DTT (1M) | 100 µL |
| EDTA (100 mM) | 400 µL |
| Tris Buffer (20 mM), pH =7.4 | 10 mL |
| Total volume | 10.55 mL |
SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL
- Mix equal volume of the caspase standards or samples with 2X caspase substrate assay solution.
- Incubate the solutions at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
- Monitor the fluorescence using a fluorescence microplate reader, or absorbance using an absorbance microplate reader.
