Ac-VEID-AFC is a fluorogenic substrate for caspase-6 (Km=30muM Kcat/Km=168000 M-1sec-1) and related cysteine proteases. The sequence is based on the lamin A site of cleavage. The activity is measured by the release of free fluorescent 7-amino-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin (AFC), which excites at 395-400 nm and emits at 495-505 nm.
