Description

General description

M.W. 10,000 and 22,000 (heterodimer).

Recombinant, human caspase-5 expressed in E. coli. A member of the caspase-1 subfamily of cysteine proteases involved in Fas-mediated apoptosis. Caspase-5 cleavage site is reported to be Asp³¹¹ and Asp³³⁰. May also cleave at Asp¹²¹. Suitable for the study of enzyme regulation and kinetics, target substrate cleavage, and inhibitor screening. MW: 10000 and 22000.
