Application

Caspase 2 is a cysteine protease that is potentially involved in cell cycle regulation and tumour suppression may be detected using peptides that contain the pentapeptide VDVAD such as the chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates: Ac-VDVAD-pNa (Acetyl-Val-Asp-Val-Ala-Asp-p- nitroanalide), chromogenic and MCA-VDVADGW-DNP-K-NH2, fluorogenic.

The caspases are an evolutionarily conserved family of cysteine proteases, with essential roles in apoptosis or inflammation. Caspase-2 was the second caspase to be cloned and it resembles the prototypical nematode caspase CED-3 more closely than any other mammalian protein.
