Description

Application

highly sensitive protease substrate

Casein fluorescein isothiocyanate from bovine milk has been used:

• in accessing zona pellucida (ZP) and perivitelline space (PVS) to evaluate changes induced by protease treatment
• to make a reference line in immunochromatographic devices
• in running gel for the documentation of proteinases

Biochem/physiol Actions

Casein fluorescein isothiocyanate is mainly used as a substrate in estimating the protease activity of psychrotrophic bacteria. It is also used as a substrate for determining the activity of bacteria in milk.
