Z-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC (Cbz-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC) is the legumain substrate. Overexpressed legumain in 293 HEK-Leg cells potently cleaved CBZ-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC.
In Vitro
The first legumain fluorogenic substrate Cbz-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC based on the P3-P2-P1 sequence Ala-Ala-Asn. The synthetic substrate Cbz-Ala-Ala-Asn-AMC is effectively cleaved by S. mansoni legumain and human legumain with K m s of 90 and 80 uM respectively . MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
