Z-Leu-Arg-AMC
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Z-Leu-Arg-AMC is a fluorogenic peptide substrate for cysteine proteases (e.g., Cathepsin) (Ex=350 nm,Em=460 nm). Z-Leu-Arg-AMC is preferentially cleaved by Cathepsin K and S under weakly acidic conditions, while its hydrolysis relies on residual Cathepsin S activity at neutral pH. Z-Leu-Arg-AMC serves as a substrate for recombinant Sphenophorus levis Cathepsin L, falcipain-2, falcipain-3, berghepain-2, knowlepain-2, vivapain-2, as well as falcipain-2 chimeras and constructs. It enables quantitative detection of cysteine protease activity in human inflammatory bronchoalveolar lavage fluid via fluorescence generation. Z-Leu-Arg-AMC can be used in research related to pulmonary inflammatory diseases and malaria.

Z-Leu-Arg-AMC (25 μM; continuous/1 h) is hydrolysed by active cysteine proteases in cell-free supernatants from human inflammatory BALFs, with residual activity at neutral pH specific to cathepsin S[1].
Z-Leu-Arg-AMC is a substrate for refolded active falcipain-2 constructs (4TyrFP2, 19AspFP2Active) that show activity against it in solution and exhibit gelatinolytic activity in native but not denaturing gel systems[4].
