    • Product overview

      Caspase 9 Assay Kit (Colorimetric) ab65608  provides a simple and convenient means for assaying the activity of caspases that recognize the sequence LEHD.


      The caspase 9 assay is based on spectrophotometric detection of the chromophore p-nitroanilide (p-NA) after cleavage from the labeled substrate LEHD-p-NA. The p-NA light emission can be quantified using a spectrophotometer or a microtiter plate reader at 400- or 405 nm.

    • Notes

      This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K119 Caspase-9 Colorimetric Assay Kit. K119-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab65608.

      Caspases are cysteine proteases, expressed as inactive precursors, that mediate apoptosis by proteolysis of specific substrates. Caspases have the ability to cleave after aspartic acid residues. There are two classes of caspases involved in apoptosis; initiators (activation by receptor cluster) and effectors (activation by mitochondrial permeability transition). Proapoptotic signals autocatalytically activate initiator caspases, such as Caspase 8 and Caspase 9. Activated initiator caspases then process effector caspases, such as Caspase 3 and Caspase 7, which in turn cause cell collapse. Caspase 9 (also known as ICE like apoptotic protease 6 (ICE LAP6), apoptotic protease Mch6, and apoptotic protease activating factor 3 (Apaf3)) is a member of the peptidase family C14 that contains a CARD domain. It is active as a heterotetramer and has been reported to have two isoforms. ProCaspase 9 is approximately 47 kD. It is present in the cytosol and, upon activation, translocates to the mitochondria. Caspase 9 is involved in the caspase activation cascade responsible for apoptosis execution and cleaves/activates Caspase 3 and Caspase 6. It becomes activated when recruited to the Apaf1/cytochrome c complex.

    Question

    Thank you for the information, however i still have question i.e, does the kit contain any buffer for tissue homogenizing or can i use cytosolic tissue homogenate.

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry. Indeed, the kits does contain a cell lysis buffer that can be used for tissue homogenising. However, if you have prepared your samples already in your own lysis buffer, you may also dilute 100-200 ug cytosolic protein extract with the lysis buffer included in the kit. Please find attached a more detailed protocol on the assay procedure. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
