Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of secreted or membrane-associated proteins capable of digesting extracellular matrix components. The importance of MMPs in tumor development and invasion is well known. MMP-2 (gelatinase A) is proposed as a potential therapeutic target. SensoLyte® 520 MMP-2 Assay Kit uses a 5-FAM (fluorophore) and QXL520 (quencher) labeled FRET peptide substrate for continuous measurement of the enzyme activities.In an intact FRET peptide, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is quenched by QXL520. Upon the cleavage of the FRET peptide by MMP-2, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is recovered, and can be continuously monitored at excitation/emission = 490 nm/520 nm. With superior fluorescence quantum yield and longer emission wavelength, 5-FAM/QXL520 based FRET peptide is less interfered by the autofluorescence of test compounds and cellular components and provides better assay sensitivity. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microplate format. Kit size:100 assays | |
