Background :
Caspase-2 is a member of the interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. Similar as other caspases, caspase-2 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During apoptosis, procaspase-2 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by upstream caspases. The processed form of caspase-2 consists of large (19kDa) and small (12kDa) subunits which associate to form the active enzyme. The expressed caspase-2 spontaneously undergoes auto-processing to yield the subunits characteristic of the native enzyme. The active recombinant caspase-2 is routinely tested for its ability to enzymatically cleave the caspase-2 colorimetric substrate Ac-VDVAD-pNA (Prod. No. ALX-260-059). The signal can be detected by spectrophotometry.
Purity :
≥95% (SDS-PAGE)
Buffer :
Lyophilized
Uses :
Useful in screening caspase inhibitors, studying enzyme regulation and kinetics, determining specificity of capase substrates, or as positive control in caspase activity assays. We recommend using 1 unit per assay for analyzing caspase activity. For a complete caspase-2 assay protocol, please refer to Caspase-2 Fluorometric Assay Kit (Prod. No. ALX-850-214).
