Recombinant Mouse Caspase 8

• Cat.No.: Casp8-1645M
• Product Overview: Recombinant active mouse caspase-8 was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Cat. No.: Casp8-1645M
• Description: Casp8 (also know as FLICE, MASH, Mch5) is a member of the caspase-family of cysteine proteases. Similar to other caspases, casp8 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During apoptosis procaspase-8 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by another caspase. The processed active form of casp8 consists of large and small subunits which associate to form the active enzyme.
• Biological Activity: 5000 units/mg
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Mouse
• Form: Lyophilized powder.
• Appearance: Lyophilized powder
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute to 1 unit per µl in PBS containing 15% glycerol.
• Purity: ≥ 95 % by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: The lyophilized caspase-8 is stable for 1 year at -70°C. Following reconstitution in PBS, the enzyme should be aliquoted and immediately stored at -70°C. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles as activity might decrease.
