D-Ala-Lys-AMCA TFA 

D-Ala-Lys-AMCA TFA is a known proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter 1 (PEPT1) substrate that emits blue fluorescence. D-Ala-Lys-AMCA TFA may be transported into liver cancer cells and Caco-2 cells based on fluorescence analysis. D-Ala-Lys-AMCA TFA can be used for characterizing PEPT1-specific substrates or inhibitors^[1][2].

D-Ala-Lys-AMCA (25, 50 and 150 μM, 3 h) TFA may be transported into liver cancer and Caco-2 cells^[1].
D-Ala-Lys-AMCA (25 μM, 10 min) TFA can be uptaken by absorptive enterocytes of all small intestine segments, whereas there is a complete lack of fluorescence in colonic samples^[2].
