Caspase-1 is the prototypical member of the caspase family of cysteine proteases. Caspase-1 exists in cells as an inactive 45kDa pro-enzyme. The pro-enzyme is matured by proteolysis to yield large (20kDa) and small (10kDa) subunits. The active enzyme is a heterotetramer consisting of two large and two small subunits. To date the mechanism of regulation of caspase-1 activation is complex and poorly understood. In THP-1 cells, a large proportion of the caspase-1 is present in the inactive pro-enzyme form.

Product Details

Alternative Name	Interleukin 1β converting enzyme, IL-1β converting enzyme, ICE
Application Notes	Useful in studying enzyme regulation and inhibitors, determining target substrate, screening caspase inhibitors, or as a positive control in caspase assays. We recommend using 1 unit per assay for analyzing caspase activity.
Formulation	Lyophilized.
Quality Control	Routinely tested for its ability to cleave the caspase-1 colorimetric substrate Ac-YVAD-pNA (Prod. No. ALX-260-026).
Reconstitution	Reconstitute to 1U/µl in water
Source	Produced in E. coli. Contains an N-terminal His-tag.
Specific Activity	>5’000U/mg protein. One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that cleaves 1nmol of the caspase substrate YVAD-pNA (pNA: p-nitroaniline) per hour at 37°C in a reaction solution containing 50mM HEPES, pH 7.2, 50mM sodium chloride, 0.1% CHAPS, 10mM EDTA, 5% glycerol and 10mM DTT.
UniProt ID	P29466

Handling & Storage

Handling	Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and store at -80°C.
Long Term Storage	-80°C
Shipping	Dry Ice
