| Description | Mca-KPLGL-Dap(Dnp)-AR-NH2 serves as a fluorogenic substrate specifically designed for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This compound facilitates the quantification of MMP activity by releasing 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl (Mca) upon enzymatic cleavage by MMPs, which exhibits fluorescence with excitation and emission maxima at 328 nm and 420 nm, respectively. |
