Protease Assay Kits

Protease assay kits are available from a number of suppliers to measure the enzymatic activity of various proteases or peptidases. Proteases, which catalyze the cleavage and breakdown of proteins into smaller peptide fragments, play important roles in many biological processes, including cellular turnover, signaling, immunity, and metabolism. Proteases are also used by many pathogens for invasion and defense. Protease assay kits often measure the amount of substrate cleaved by proteases through the release of signals, such as fluorescence. Protease assays can be used to screen inhibitors of viral proteases, assess the activity of apoptotic proteases, and more.
