General description
M.W. 12,000 and 17,000 (heterodimer).
Recombinant, human caspase-3 expressed in E. coli as the proenzyme, which is subsequently cleaved to produce the active enzyme. The active enzyme is a heterodimer with subunit molecular weights of 12 kDa and 19 kDa. Suitable for the study of enzyme regulation and kinetics, target substrate cleavage and inhibitor screening. Caspase-3 is a member of the ICE family of cysteine proteases that is activated during apoptotic signaling events by upstream proteases, including caspase-6, caspase-8 (FLICE) and cytotoxic T-cell-derived granzyme B.
Physical form
In 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.5% CHAPS, pH 7.4.
Preparation Note
Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C).
