Description: Assay Kit for detection of Capase 8 activity in the research laboratory

Description: The Homogeneous Caspase-8 Assay Kit is a complete assay system designed to measure Caspase-8 activity for screening and profiling applications. It comes in a convenient 96-well format, with all the reagents necessary for 100 fluorescent Caspase-8 activity measurements. In addition, the kit includes purified Caspase-8 enzyme and a potent Caspase-8 inhibitor, Ac-IETD-CHO, for use as a positive and negative control. Using this kit, only one simple step on a microtiter plate is needed to analyze the Caspase-8 activity level. The fluorogenic substrate, Ac-IETD-AFC, is incubated with purified Caspase-8 and the enzymatic activity releases AFC fluorophore that can then be measured using a fluorescence reader.

Description: The human CASP8 gene, whose product is also known as Caspase-8 and FLICE, encodes an interleukin-1beta converting enzyme (ICE)-related cysteine protease that is activated by the engagement of several different death receptors. It is immediately recruited to the Fas receptor once it oligomerizes, and its protease activity is crucial for the apoptotic response generated by the resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). This gene contains at least 11 exons spanning approximately 30kb on human chromosome band 2q33-34. This region of human chromosome 2 was previously reported as the location of the CASP10 gene, whose product is closely related to CASP8. Caspase-8 deficiency in humans is compatible with normal development and shows that the enzyme has a postnatal role in immune activation of naive lymphocytes.

Description: Caspase-8 is also known as CASP8, CAP4, MACH or MCH5. This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease 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.
