Caspase-1 is also known as interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE). It is located on chromosome 11q22.2. It has 10 exons, an N terminal CARD (caspase activation and recruitment domain), a large P20 subunit and a small P10 subunit. It is present in leukocytes, monocytes and epithelial cells.
Immunogen
a 16 amino acid peptide from near the carboxy-terminus of human Caspase-1.
Application
Anti-Caspase-1 (ab1) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunofluorescence staining.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Caspase-1 can transform the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 into their active forms. It participates in pyroptosis. It is overexpressed in the aorta of coronary atherosclerosis patients. It helps in host cell survival by inducing membrane biogenesis to restore the impairment caused by pore-forming toxins.
Linkage
The action of this antibody can be blocked using blocking peptide SBP3459.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide

Autophagy is a cellular process that controls and executes the turnover of dysfunctional organelles and misfolded or abnormally aggregated proteins. Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) activates the initiation of autophagy. Autophagosomes migrate along acetylated microtubules to
Excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins in renal tissues causes renal fibrosis and renal function failure. Mammalian cells primarily use the autophagy-lysosome system to degrade misfolded/aggregated proteins and dysfunctional organelles. MAP1S is an autophagy activator and promotes the biogenesis and
