Background | The Quantikine Human Caspase-1 Immunoassay is a 3 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure Caspase-1 in cell culture supernates. It contains recombinant human Caspase-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained measuring natural human Caspase-1 showed dose-response curves that were... parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Caspase-1. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human Caspase-1. Show More |

Caspases are a family of cytosolic aspartate-specific cysteine proteases involved in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. They are expressed as latent zymogens and are activated by an autoproteolytic mechanism or by processing by other proteases (frequently other caspases). Human caspases can be subdivided into three functional groups: cytokine activation (caspase-1, -4, -5, and -13), apoptosis initiation (caspase-2, -8, -9, -and -10), and apoptosis execution (caspase-3, -6, and -7).
Caspases are regulated by a variety of stimili, including APAF1, CFLAR/FLIP, NOL3/ARC, and members of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family such as BIRC1/NAIP, BIRC2/cIAP-1, BIRC3/cIAP-2, BIRC4/XIAP, BIRC5/Survivin, and BIRC7/Livin. IAP activity is modulated by DIABLO/SMAC or PRSS25/HTRA2/Omi. Cell-permeable and irreversible peptide inhibitors are also available for different caspases.

NLRP3/NALP3 - Sensing and responding to pathogen infection The inflammasome is a multi protein complex that is an important component of the innate immune response. The inflammasome is able to sense and respond to pathogen infections by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns and mediating the ... Read full blog post. |
Caspase 10 - an initiator caspase in the extrinsic death receptor pathway Apoptosis, also called programmed cell death, is an essential process in development and disease. The signaling networks that carry out apoptosis is consists of a series of endoproteases called caspases which are synthesized as inactive zymogens. ... Read full blog post. |
Caspase 7 - A key effector of the apoptotic pathway Caspase-7 is an effector caspase with important roles in mediating cell death signaling. As an effector caspase, caspase-7 is cleaved and activated by initiator caspases such as caspase-1 (1). Like other caspase family proteins, caspase-7 contains a... Read full blog post. |
Caspase 1 - activating innate immune responses following infection or injury Caspase-1 is an enzyme involved in the conversion of interleukin-1 into its active secreted form. Interleukin-1 mediates inflammatory responses during infection and disease. Caspase-1 is recruited to and activated by the inflammasome complex (1). Un... Read full blog post. |
Caspase-4 - a human protease with roles in inflammation and immunity Caspases are a family of cysteine-aspartic acid proteases that cleave caspase proenzymes as well as other protein substrates. Caspases are well known for their role in apoptosis, but they also play a significant role in other cellular processes inc... Read full blog post. |
