Description

MCA-HQKLVFFA-K(DNP)-NH2 is a fluorogenic substrate for α-secretase. Upon cleavage by α-secretase, 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl (MCA) is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify α-secretase activity. MCA displays excitation and emission maxima at 328 and 420 nm, respectively.
