Product Specifications

Immunogen

Recombinant full length human Caspase 8 protein.

Localization

Cytoplasmic

Specificity

This reacts with a 55 kDa protein. Caspase 8 has an N-terminal domain with sequence homology to the death effector domain (DED) of FADD. Caspase 8 binds to DED of FADD. Caspase 8 is activated by association with Fas/FADD death-inducing signaling complex to release two active subunits, p18 and p10 into the cytosol, where they activate other caspases amplifying the apoptotic signal.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Background: Caspase-8

Caspases are cysteine proteases, expressed as inactive precursors, that mediate apoptosis by proteolysis of specific substrates. Caspases have the ability to cleave after aspartic acid residues. There are two classes of caspases involved in apoptosis; initiators (activation by receptor cluster) and effectors (activation by mitochondrial permeability transition). Proapoptotic signals autocatalytically activate initiator caspases, such as Caspase 8 and Caspase 9. Activated initiator caspases then process effector caspases, such as Caspase 3 and Caspase 7, which in turn cause cell collapse.
