| Bioactivity | Abz-GIVRAK(Dnp) is the most efficient substrate for cathepsin B and is highly selective for this enzyme among lysosomal cysteine proteases. After Abz-GIVRAK(Dnp) is hydrolyzed, aminoacylbenziminosulfosuccinic acid (Abz-SAS) is released, and dinitrobenzoyl (Dnp) is also released. The product of this hydrolysis reaction, Abz-SAS, is fluorescent under ultraviolet light and can emit a fluorescent signal[1]. |
