Description

CoraFluor(TM) 1 is a high performance terbium-based TR-FRET (Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) or TRF (Time-Resolved Fluorescence) donor for high throughput assay development. CoraFluor(IM) 1 absorbs UV light at approximately 340 nm, and emits at approximately 490 nm, 545 nm, 585 nm and 620 nm. It is compatible with common acceptor dyes that absorb at the emission wavelengths of CoraFluor(TM) 1. CoraFluor(TM) 1 can be used for the development of robust and scalable TR-FRET binding assays such as target engagement, ternary complex, protein-protein interaction and protein quantification assays.

Background: Cathepsin A/Lysosomal Carboxypeptidase A

Lysosomal protective protein/cathepsin A (PPCA) is a lysosomal serine carboxypeptidase that forms an intralysosomal enzyme-complex with b-galactosidase and neuraminidase (NEU1). PPCA is synthesized as a 54-kDa precursor/zymogen, and proteolytically cleaved in the lysosome into a catalytically active 32- and 20-kDa two-chain enzyme. The enzyme has cathepsin A activity at acidic pH but maintains also a deamidase/esterase activity at neutral pH. Furthermore, the human enzyme, purified from platelets and lymphocytes, has been shown to function on the inactivation of selected neuropeptides, like substance P, oxytocin, and endothelin I. The autosomal recessive genetic deficiency of PPCA causes galactosialidosis, a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, resulting in the secondary deficiencies of b-galactosidase and NEU1.
