Scientific Data Images for Human Caspase-1 Antibody
Detection of Human Caspase-1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of A431 human epithelial carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Caspase-1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB62155) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF018). A specific band was detected for Caspase-1 at approximately 48 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.Applications for Human Caspase-1 Antibody

Background: Caspase-1
Caspase-1, also known as IL-1 beta-Converting Enzyme (ICE), is an aspartic protease that plays a key role in the inflammatory response and apoptosis. Caspase-1 precursor (about 50kDa) can be cleaved and the active enzyme consists of a complex of two 20 kDa (aa 120-297) and two 10 kDa (aa 317-404) subunits which associate following cleavage of inactive precursors. Caspase-1 is required for proteolytic cleavage of the IL-1 beta precursor to form the active proinflammatory cytokine. Alternate splicing generates several additional Caspase-1 isoforms with deletions in the propeptide regions or also in the mature subunits. Within the large subunit, human Caspase 1 shares 61% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Caspase-1.
