General description

A sensitive fluorogenic assay kit for the determination of β-secretase (BACE) activity (Excitation max: 335-355 nm; Emission max: 495-501 nm). β-Secretase is a transmembrane aspartyl protease that cleaves membrane-bound amyloid precursor protein.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The Calbiochem β-Secretase Activity Assay Kit, Fluorogenic, is intended for measuring the β-secretase (BACE) activity in cell lysates, tissue extracts, or purified enzyme preparations.

Preparation Note

• Active β-Secretase: Reconstitute the lyophilized Active β-Secretase with 10 µl ddH2O. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-70°C) to avoid loss of activity.
Upon arrival store the entire contents of the kit at -20°C. Following reconstitution of the Active β-Secretase, aliquot and freeze (-70°C) to avoid loss of activity. Following initial thaw of the kit contents, store the Extraction Buffer and 2X Reaction Buffer at 4°C.
