General description

M.W. 11,000 and 18,000 (heterodimer).
Recombinant, human caspase-8 fused at the N- and C- termini to a His•Tag sequence and expressed in E. coli as a single polypeptide. Subsequently undergoes spontaneous autoprocessing to yield the active enzyme. Suitable for the study of enzyme regulation and kinetics, target substrate cleavage, and inhibitor screening. MW: 11000 and 18000.

Physical form

In 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.5% CHAPS, pH 7.4.

Preparation Note

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°).

Other Notes

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will cleave 1.0 pmol substrate Ac-IETD-pNA (Cat. No. 368057) per min at 30°C, pH 7.4.
