Z-DEVD-AFC is a fluorometric substrate for caspase-3 (Km = 9.7µM) and other related caspases. The sequence DEVD is based on PARP cleavage at Asp216 for caspase-3. During apoptosis, caspase-3 cleaves the substrate and release AFC, thus the caspase activity can be calculated by the fluorescent detection of AFC at Ex. = 400 nm and Em. = 505 nm, or by a blue to green shift in fluorescence. Z-DEVD-AFC can be used to identify and quantify caspase-3 activity in apoptotic cell lysates.
