Z-DEVD-pNA is a colorimetric substrate for caspase-3 with increased cell permeability. Sequence is based on PARP poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase which is clevaved by caspase-3 at the amino acid sequence DEVD[1]. Z-DEVD-pNA also recognizes caspases-1, -4 and -7. The N-terminus of Z-DEVD-pNA is blocked by a benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) moiety that could increase cell permeability. The Caspase-3 activity is calculated by sepctrophotometric reading of free pNA (l = 400 nm) following cleavage from the substrate DEVD-pNA. [2] Z-DEVD-pNA can be used to identify and quantify caspase-3 activity in apoptotic cell lysates.
