| Description | Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. The Caspase-4 Colorimetric Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence LEVD. The assay is based on spectrophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroanilide (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate LEVD-pNA. The pNA light emission can be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 400- or 405 nm. |

| Applications | This assay provides for the detection of early/middle stages of apoptosis; differentiate apoptosis from necrosis. Comparison of the absorbance of pNA from an apoptotic sample with an uninduced control allows determination of the fold increase in LEVD-dependent Caspase activity. |
