Magic Red Cathepsin K Assay Kit

• Catalog Number: orb1409946
• Category: Tools
• Description: Quantitatively monitor intracellular cathepsin K activity over time in vitro. The Magic Red substrate fluoresces red upon cleavage by active cathepsin enzymes. The signal can be analyzed using fluorescence microscopy or a fluorescence plate reader.
• Target: Cathepsin K
• Storage: 2-8°C
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: 1. Prepare samples and controls, 2. Reconstitute Magic Red by adding 50 µL DMSO., 3. Dilute Magic Red 1:10 by adding 450 µL diH2O., 4.
