Description: The human Caspase-8 ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of human Caspase-8. The human Caspase-8 ELISA is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Caspases are the executioners of apoptosis. These cysteine protease family consists of more than 10 related members characterized by almost absolute specificity for aspartic acid in the P1 position. Caspases are synthesized as inactive proenzymes comprising an N-terminal peptide together with one large and one small subunit. Activation of caspases during apoptosis results in the cleavage of critical cellular substrates so precipitating the dramatic morphological changes of apoptosis.
Caspase-8 has been reported to have additional functions unrelated to cell death. It is required for T-cell homeostasis, proliferation, and cell activation.
