Product overview
Proteasome Activity Assay Kit (ab107921) takes advantage of the chymotrypsin-like activity, using an AMC-tagged peptide substrate (Proteasome Substrate (Succ-LLVY-AMC in DMSO), which releases free, highly fluorescent AMC (Ex/Em 350/440 nm) in the presence of proteolytic activity.
The kit also includes a positive control (Jurkat Cell lysate with significant proteasome activity) and a specific proteasome inhibitor MG-132 which suppresses all proteolytic activity due to proteasomes. This permits differentiation of proteasome activity from other protease activity which may be present in samples.
Proteasome activity assay protocol summary:
- add samples, standards and positive control to wells
- add proteasome inhibitor to half of sample and positive control wells
- add proteasome substrate to sample and control wells
- incubate for 20 min
- analyze with microplate reader, incubate for further 30 min, analyze again -
Notes
The 20S proteasome assembly is the functional protease structure with chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like and caspase-like protease activities
