Gly pro amc
Gly-Pro-AMC is a fluorogenic substrate used for the detection and measurement of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) enzyme activity. It consists of the dipeptide sequence Gly-Pro linked to the fluorogenic reporter molecule 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). Upon cleavage by DPP-IV, the AMC fluorophore is released, allowing for the quantification of enzymatic activity.

DPP4 Activity and Total Levels Assay
DPP4 serum enzymatic activity was determined as the rate of cleavage of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) from the fluorogenic substrate Glycyl-Prolyl-AMC (Gly-Pro-AMC; Sigma, USA) in a 96-well microplate in SpectraMax® M5 ROM v3.0.22 Molecular Devices spectrofluorometer (USA) at 360 nm excitation and 460 nm emission for 15 min and in duplicate. The rate of liberated fluorescence was calculated per minute (U/min). All enzymatic reactions were performed with 10 µL of serum sample in activity buffer (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.5) in the presence of 20 µM of the substrate in a final volume of 100 µL (30 (link)). To confirm the specificity of DPP4 activity in these assays, a highly selective DPP4 inhibitor (Sitagliptin; Sigma) was incubated with some serum samples for 15 min before proceeding to hydrolysis of the substrate, in triplicate, with Sitagliptin at a final concentration of 1 µM.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
