Description：Dansylcadaverine (Monodansyl cadaverine) is an autofluorescent compound used for the labeling of autophagic vacuoles. Dansylcadaverine, a high affinity substrate of transglutaminases, can block the receptor-mediated endocytosis of many ligands.

In Vitro：The inhibitory activity of dansylcadaverine reflects its ability to serve as a substrate for transglutaminases and to block competitively the crosslinking of fibrin molecules[2].Dansylcadaverine, a cationic fluorescent probe binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharide and lipid A, and is displaced competitively by other compounds which possess affinity toward endotoxins[3].

Cell Assay：MCF7 cells (2.4×104) are seeded into 35 mm plates. After 24 h incubation, CuO NPs are added with an increasing concentration in the presence or absence of 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) for different time periods . The cells are then incubated with 50 mM Dansylcadaverine (MDC) at 37°C for 15 min and washed with 1×PBS three times with 5 min interval. Finally, the cells are observed under a fluorescence microscope[2].

Kinase Assay：To determine the time course of transglutamination, thymosin β4 (120 μM) is incubated with Dansylcadaverine (5 mM) in 70 μL buffer consisting of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 15 mM CaCl2, 3 mM DTT. The reaction is started by addition of 0.1 U transglutaminase. Immediately after addition of the enzyme (t=0) and at indicated times,10 μL are taken from the mixture, diluted in 490 μL 0.1% TFA to stop the reaction and analyzed by HPLC[1].
