Recombinant Human Caspase 1, Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Peptidase (interleukin 1, beta, convertase), His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CASP1-1639H
• Product Overview: Recombinant active human CASP1 containing N-term His-tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Cat. No.: CASP1-1639H
• Description: CASP1 (also know as ICE) is a prototypical member of the caspase-family of cysteine proteases. CASP1 exists in cells as an inactive 45 kDa proenzyme. The pro-enzyme is matured by proteolysis to yield large (20 kD) and small (10 kD) subunits. The active CASP1 is a heterotetramer consisting of two large and two small subunits. To date the regulatory mechanism of CASP1 activation and the role of CASP1 in apoptosis are poorly understood.
• Biological Activity: > 5000 units/mg
• Molecular Weight: large (20 kD) and small (10 kD) subunitsk
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Form: Lyophilized powder.
• Appearance: Lyophilized powder
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute to 1 unit per µl in PBS containing 15% glycerol.
• Storage: The lyophilized CASP1 is stable for 1 year at -70°C. Following reconstitution in PBS, the enzyme should be aliquoted and immediately stored at -70°C. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles as activity might decrease.
