Elastase Substrate V, Fluorogenic is primarily used in biochemical research to study elastase enzyme activity. It serves as a sensitive tool for detecting and quantifying elastase, particularly in studies related to inflammatory diseases, tissue remodeling, and protease function. The fluorogenic nature of the substrate allows for real-time monitoring of enzyme kinetics, making it valuable in high-throughput screening assays and drug discovery. It is also employed in understanding the role of elastase in conditions like emphysema, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, it aids in evaluating the efficacy of elastase inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents.
