Product Description
Caspase-10b (also known as FLICE 2) is a member of the caspase-family of cysteine proteases. Similar to other caspases, caspase-10 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During apoptosis procaspase-10 is processed at aspartate residues to form active caspase-10 which consists of two large (18 kDa) and two small (11 kDa) subunits in a heterotetramer form. The recombinant active human caspase-10/b was expressed in E. coli. The active caspase-10 is routinely tested at BioVision for its ability to enzymatically cleave these two substrates Ac-IETD-pNA (Cat. #1063-200) or Ac-IETD-AFC (1062-200).
