Recombinant Human CASP1 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CASP1-180H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human CASP1(1 - 311 aa) fused with His tag at N-terminal was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce 2 subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This gene was identified by its ability to proteolytically cleave and activate the inactive precursor of interleukin-1, a cytokine involved in the processes such as inflammation, septic shock, and wound healing. This gene has been shown to induce cell apoptosis and may function in various developmental stages. Studies of a similar gene in mouse suggest a role in the pathogenesis of Huntington disease. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

• Purity: > 90%, by SDS-PAGE with Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining.
• Storage: Store for up to 12 months at -20 centigradeto -80 centigradeas lyophilized powder.Storage of Reconstituted Protein:Short-term storage: Store at 2-8 centigradefor two weeks.Long-term storage: Aliquot and store at -20 centigradeto -80 centigradefor up to 6 months, buffer containing 50% glycerol is recommended for reconstitution. Avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute at 0.25 µg/μl in 200 μl sterile water for short-term storage.Reconstitution with 200 μl 50% glycerol solution is recommended for longer term storage (see Stability and Storage for more details).If a different concentration is needed for your purposes please adjust the reconstitution volume as required (please note: the ion concentration of the final solution will vary according to the volume used).Note: Centrifuge vial before opening. When reconstituting, gently pipet and wash down the sides of the vial to ensure full recovery of the protein into solution.
