【Tips】If you are studying whether a certain drug can trigger apoptosis which relys on the caspase related pathway, and want to detect the activity of caspase, this article is suitable for you! This article is especially fit for researchers who are working hard to benefit the mankind.
【Background】
Caspases(cysteine-aspartic proteases) are a
family of protease enzymes playing essential roles in programmed cell death
(including apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis) and inflammation. The cascade
reaction caused by caspases is a central part of the apoptotic process, and its
activation mainly includes the mitochondria-dependent pathway and the death
receptor-mediated signal transduction pathway. The downstream caspases are then
activated, leading to apoptosis by cleavage of specific substrates. Inhibition
of apoptotic function will lead to tumorigenesis and abnormal immune function.
However, hyperfunction of apoptotic function is closely related to the
pathogenesis of tissue damage and organ failure.
【Caspase Structure】
【Assay Principle】
Abbkine Caspase Assay Kits are based on different
caspases can catalyze specific substrates to generate pNA(p-nitroaniline), resulting
in the release of p-nitroaniline (pNA), which can be quantified using a
spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at at 405 nm.
