Ac-IETD-pNA is a colorimetric substrate for caspase-8 and other similar cysteine proteases (caspase-6, caspase-10 and granzyme B). It recognizes the amino acid sequence IETD which is based on caspase-8 cleavage site in Caspase-3 precursor. During apoptosis, caspase 8 cleaves the substrate and releases pNA, thus the caspase activity can be calculated by the spectrophotometric detection of pNA at 405nm. Ac-IETD-pNA can be used to identify and quantify caspase-8 activity in apoptotic cell lysates and to study events downstream of caspase-8 activation.
