Caspase Activity Assays & Active Enzymes

Caspase-1 Assay Kit for Drug Discovery

Complete Product Information
  • Flexible format allows user to choose between a colorimetric substrate or fluorogenic substrate
  • Can be used to screen inhibitors of caspase-1, study enzyme regulation and kinetics, or cleave target substrates
Inhibition of Caspase-1 by Ac-YVAD-CHO
The enzyme was incubated with the inhibitor for 10 minutes prior to addition of substrate. 30 U/well; [YVAD-CHO]=0.1 mM; [YVAD-pNA]=200 mM; 25° C
Kinetics of YVAD-pNA cleavage by Caspase-1
30 U/well; 25°C. Rates were obtained from the slopes of the initial, linear portion of plots of A405 vs. time. Curve and kinetic parameters derive from a non-linear least squares fit to the Michaelis-Menten equation (Marquadt algorithm).

Ready-to-Use Caspase Inhibitors

Caspase inhibitors bind to the active site of caspases either in a reversible or irreversible manner. Inhibitors are designed to include a peptide recognition sequence attached to a functional group: an aldehyde (CHO), a chloromethylyketone (CMK), or fluoromethylketone (FMK).

Enzo provide high purity, peptide inhibits for modulation of the caspase signaling cascade.

Antibody-Based Detection of Cleaved Caspases

Caspase-8 (human) monoclonal antibody (12F5)

Product Information
  • Recognizes procaspase-8 and active caspase-8. Detects procaspase-8 (p55/54), the intermediate cleavage products (p43/41) and the p18 active subunit of caspase-8 by Western blot
  • Does not cross-react with mouse caspase-8
  • Validated for Western blot, Immunoprecipation and Immunohistochemistry applications
title shall go here
(A) Schematic structure of caspase-8 and its cleavage products as detected by anti-caspase-8 (12F5). The antibody is directed against the p18 subunit and detects procaspase-8 (p55/54), the intermediate cleavage products of 43kD and 41kD and the p18 active subunit of caspase-8.
(B) Detection of Fas ligand-induced caspase-8 processing and activation in human Jurkat cells.
