Reference sheet · Protease Substrates · CPC catalog code RENI-015
Reference standards in the Protease Substrates class are typically shipped as lyophilized powder and stored desiccated at −20 °C protected from light. Once reconstituted in bacteriostatic water or the assay-appropriate buffer, aliquot and store at −80 °C to minimize freeze–thaw cycles. Confirm handling requirements against your institutional biosafety and radiation protocols before use.
Rat Renin FRET Substrate (5-FAM/CPQ2 520) sits within the Protease Substrates research class (CPC reference RENI-015). The peptide encodes a specific protease-recognition motif flanked by a reporter (pNA, AMC, MCA / Dnp FRET pair). Enzymatic cleavage releases the reporter, producing signal directly proportional to catalytic activity. Investigators typically incorporate Rat Renin FRET Substrate (5-FAM/CPQ2 520) as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Read on kinetic plate readers at the reporter-appropriate wavelength.
Rat Renin FRET Substrate (5-FAM/CPQ2 520) (CPC catalog code RENI-015) is a synthetic protease substrate (research reagent) in the protease substrates category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.
Published and internal research programs use Rat Renin FRET Substrate (5-FAM/CPQ2 520) as a reference standard in protease substrates workflows — for example, kinetic (kcat / km) protease characterization and inhibitor screening and ic₅₀ determination. Human clinical evidence is not established.
No. Rat Renin FRET Substrate (5-FAM/CPQ2 520) is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.
In a protease substrates workflow, Rat Renin FRET Substrate (5-FAM/CPQ2 520) is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Read on kinetic plate readers at the reporter-appropriate wavelength.
