Calpains are Ca2+-dependent proteinases, which are involved in normal cellular processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and cell migration. Requires a fluorimeter or microplate reader capable of measuring fluorescence at wavelengths of Excitation max: ~360 nm and Emission max: ~460 nm.
Catalogue Number
QIA120
Brand Family
Calbiochem®
Application Data
Typical standard curve generated by using dilutions of the AMC Standard as indicated in the Detailed Protocol.
Materials Required but Not Delivered
• Pipetman or multi-channel pipetman: use only pipettes that have been carefully calibrated to their target volume • Microplate reader capable of measuring fluorescence at an excitation wavelength of ~360-380 nm and an emission wavelength of ~440-460 nm • Ice bucket to keep reagents cold until use • Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for preparation of cell lysates
