Caspase-8 (MACH/FLICE/Mch5) is a member of a family of cysteine-requiring aspartate proteases that participate in the intracellular signaling cascade leading to apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Caspase-8 is recruited to death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), CD95 (Fas/APO-1) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) and is subsequently activated by proteolytic cleavage into two residues, p10 and p18. Active caspase-8 or the p18 subunit, is the first in the caspase signaling cascade, and it signals downstream caspases to eventually induce apoptosis.

This antibody recognizes the active form (p18 subunit) of Caspase-8.

Format: Purified

Purified mouse monoclonal IgMκ in buffer containing PBS with 0.05% sodium azide.

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Control
Camptothecin-treated and untreated Jurkat lysates

Evaluated by Western Blot in camptothecin-treated and untreated Jurkat lysates.

Western Blot Analysis: 2 µg/mL of this antibody detected the active form of Caspase-8 (p18 subunit) in 10 µg of camptothecin-treated Jurkat lysates. Untreated jurkat lysate exhibited no detection of active Caspase-8.
