Active recombinant caspases are useful in screening caspase inhibitors, studying enzyme kinetics and regulation, determining substrate specificity, and as a positive control in caspase activity assays.
Product Details
Recommended Dilutions/Conditions: | We recommend using 1U per assay for analyzing caspase activity. |
|
Specific Activity: | One unit of the recombinant human caspases is the enzyme activity that cleaves 1 nmol of the individual caspase substrate (YVAD-pNA for caspase-1, VDVAD-pNA for caspase-2, DEVD-pNA for caspase-3, VEID-pNA for caspase-6, DEVD-pNA for caspase-7, IETD-pNA for caspase-8, LEHD-pNA for caspase-9, and IETD-pNA for caspase-10) per hour at 37oC in a reaction solution containing 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1% Chaps, 10 mM EDTA, 5% Glycerol, and 10 mM DTT. |
