compound introduction
Mca-(ala7,lys(dnp)9)-bradykinin is a sensitive fluorogenic substrate for ECE-1 (endothelin-converting enzyme-1). The incorporation of a (7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl (Mca) fluorescent group and a 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp) quenching group has resulted in a large fluorescence increase upon substrate cleavage. In Vitro Mca-(ala7,lys(dnp)9)-bradykinin is also a substrate for neprilysin, but is hydrolyzed 10-fold more efficiently by ECE-1, making this substrate selective for ECE-1. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Form:Solid
