Recombinant Human CASP8 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: CASP8-7829H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human CASP8 aa. (Leu7~Asp201) fused with N-terminal His tag was produced in E. coli cells.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes 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, a large protease subunit, and a 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 protein is involved in the programmed cell death induced by Fas and various apoptotic stimuli. The N-terminal FADD-like death effector domain of this protein suggests that it may interact with Fas-interacting protein FADD. This protein was detected in the insoluble fraction of the affected brain region from Huntington disease patients but not in those from normal controls, which implicated the role in neurodegenerative diseases. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described, although not all variants have had their full-length sequences determined.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Form: Freeze-dried powder
• Molecular Mass: Predicted Molecular Mass: 28.2kDa
• Protein length: Leu7~Asp201
• Endotoxin: <1.0EU per 1µg (determined by the LAL method)
• Purity: >97%
• Characteristic: The isoelectric point is 7.8.
• Applications: Positive Control; Immunogen; SDS-PAGE; WB.
• Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
• Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8°C for one month. Aliquot and store at -80°C for 12 months.
• Storage buffer: PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.01% SKL, 1mM DTT, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute in PBS or others.
