Gly-Phe-β-naphthylamide is a cathepsin C substrate that is described to accumulate inside lysosomes and cause their destruction. Cathepsin C cleaves the dipeptide bond of Gly-Phe-β-naphthylamide, releasing 2-naphthylamine. The release of 2-naphthylamine can be monitored spectrophotometrically, allowing for the measurement of cathepsin C activity. It has also been used to study recombinant cathepsin C. Studies report that Gly-Phe β-naphthylamide significantly inhibits the activation of caspase-8.

Do you have any experience with the usage of GPN in in vivo models like mice? How fast we can expect an effect in our target organe, the pancreas, after intravenous application? What is the half life of GPN in in vivo models?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from it works well.We have use it for several years, and it always works well for our experiment. We usually do calcium image and it works well to release lysosomal calcium.
