L-pyroglutamic Acid 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin by Molecular Depot is a L-pyroglutamic acid 7-amido-4-methylcoumarin, a fluorogenic substrate for pyroglutamyl peptidase 1 that yields a blue fluorescent solution on cleavage. Pyroglutamate is a cyclised glutamine that blocks the amino terminus of a protein completely, and only a pyroglutamyl peptidase can remove it and expose the chain for further sequencing or degradation. It is used as a substrate in fluorimetric pyroglutamyl peptidase 1 assays, in peptidase screening and in enzyme assay development. Each unit contains 50 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot research reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
