Background: Caspase-8

Activation of ICE-family proteases/caspases initiates apoptosis in mammalian cells. The FLICE/Caspase-8 Colorimetric Assay Kit provides a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence IETD. The assay is based on spectrophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroanilide (pNA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate IETD-pNA. The pNA light emission can be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 400 or 405 nm.

FAQs for Caspase-8 Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric)

Showing  1 - 1 of 1 FAQ Showing All

  • Q: May we ask the MW difference between the active form and the proform of Caspase 8 while performing WB?

    A: In treated cells induced to undergo apoptosis, caspase-8 migrates as a 55/53 kDa (pro-form), 41/42 kDa (a cleaved/active or intermediate form), and 18 kDa (active form). The proform (55/53 kDa) is still seen in treated cells because not all cells undergo apoptosis at once.
