Recombinant Human CASP4 Protein, GST-Tagged

• Cat.No.: CASP4-0424H
• Product Overview: Human CASP4 full-length ORF (AAH17839, 1 a.a. - 377 a.a.) recombinant protein with GST-tag at N-terminal.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes composed of a prodomain and a large and small protease subunit. Activation of caspases requires proteolytic processing at conserved internal aspartic residues to generate a heterodimeric enzyme consisting of the large and small subunits. This caspase is able to cleave and activate its own precursor protein, as well as caspase 1 precursor. When overexpressed, this gene induces cell apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
