Caspase-10, Human, Recombinant, E. coli

M.W. 11,000 and 18,000 (heterodimer).

Recombinant, human caspase-10 fused at the N- and C- termini to a His•Tag sequence and expressed in E. coli as a single polypeptide. Subsequently undergoes spontaneous autoprocessing to yield the active enzyme. Useful for the study of enzyme regulation and kinetics, cleavage of target substrates, and inhibitor screening. MW: 11000 and 18000.

In 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.1% CHAPS, 0.09% APO-10, pH 7.4.

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C).
