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.

Caspase-2, the most evolutionarily conserved member in the human caspase family, may play important roles in stress-induced apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and tumor suppression. In biochemical assays, caspase-2 uniquely prefers a pentapeptide (such as VDVAD) rather than a tetrapeptide, as
Tanja Kitevska et al.
Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death, 14(7), 829-848 (2009-05-30)
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.
