Use:

This fluorescent ADAM8 substrate was originally described by us in the publication, ” Fluorescent substrates for the proteinases ADAM17, ADAM10, ADAM8 and ADAM12 useful for high throughput screening”. This ADAM substrate has been used to assess activity of ADAM8 using in vitro enzymatic and cell based assays (See publications 1-4) as it is a highly sensitive and selective substrate for this enzyme.  (Please also see our product sheets or catalog, for the substrate specificity profile).  Typically, the peptide is dissolved in DMSO to make a stock solution of about 10mM concentration. When used for in vitro assays, the substrate is often used at about 10uM concentration. Remember to keep the DMSO concentration in the final reaction at 1% or below, to avoid DMSO effects on the reaction, and remember to have an equivalent percentage of DMSO in the background well. For use with ADAM8, the buffer should consist of 50mM Tris, pH 8, 150mM NaCl, 10mM CaCl2 , and 6 x 10-4 Brij detergent. Excitation and emission wavelengths are 485 and 530 nm respectively.

Molecular Weight:

1737.7 g/mol

Purity:

Greater than 92% as assessed by HPLC and Mass Spectrometry.

Solubility:

1 mg/ml in water with 10% Formic acid

Appearance:

Red lyophilized powder

Shipping:

The peptide powder is shipped at room temperature.

Storage:

Upon receiving, the peptide should be stored at -70 oC. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. If dissolved in liquid (such as DMSO), aliquot into separate tubes to minimize the number of freeze-thaw cycles.

Stability:

Samples are light sensitive and stable up to 6 months at -70oC.
