Mca-KPLGL-Dap (Dnp) -AR-NH2 TFA

Mca-KPLGL-Dap (Dnp) -AR-NH2 serves as a fluorogenic substrate specifically designed for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) . This compound facilitates the quantification of MMP activity by releasing 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetyl (Mca) upon enzymatic cleavage by MMPs, which exhibits fluorescence with excitation and emission maxima at 328 nm and 420 nm, respectively.
