General description

Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. Chemicon′s Caspase-9 Colorimetric Activity Assay Kits provide a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the LEHD. The assay is based on spectophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroaniline (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate LEHD-pNA. The free pNA can be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 405 nm. Comparison of the absorbance of pNA from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in caspase-9 activity.

Storage and Stability

Store kit materials at -20°C up to their expiration date.

Special Precautions:

· After thawing reagents, use immediately or aliquot and freeze at -20°C for longer storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

· The Caspase-9 substrate and pNA standard are especially light sensitive. Maintain these reagents in amber or covered containers.

Thyroid hormone is essential for hippocampal redox environment and neuronal viability in adulthood, where its deficiency causes hypothyroidism related to oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stresses in the hippocampus, resulting in neuronal death. One option of treatment is antioxidants; however, they
