General Description

The chemical MCA-PRO-LEU-ALA-NVA-DAP(DNP)-ALA-ARG-NH2 is a peptide sequence that consists of a series of amino acids linked together. The term "MCA" refers to the 7-methoxycoumarin-4-acetic acid that is attached to the N-terminus of the peptide, serving as a fluorescence label. The peptide also contains the amino acids proline (PRO), leucine (LEU), alanine (ALA), N-valyl-N-1-(3-aminopropiyl)-D-alanine (NVA-DAP), and arginine (ARG), followed by an amide group (NH2) at the C-terminus. Additionally, the chemical derivative dinitrophenyl (DNP) is linked to the DAP residue, allowing for detection and quantification through immunoassays. This peptide sequence is commonly used in biochemical and pharmacological research as a substrate for enzyme assays and as a tracer for cellular uptake studies.
