Product details

This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called 1085 Caspase-5, human recombinant. 1085-100 is the same size as the 100 unit size of ab52109.

Active caspase-5 is useful in studying enzyme regulation, determining target substrates, screening caspase inhibitors, or as a positive control in caspase activity assays. Recommend using 1 unit/assay for analyzing caspase activity.

General info

Function

Thiol protease that acts as a mediator of programmed cell death (PubMed : 28314590, PubMed : 29898893). Initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death pathway through cleavage of Gasdermin-D (GSDMD) : cleavage releases the N-terminal gasdermin moiety (Gasdermin-D, N-terminal) that binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed : 29898893). Also mediates cleavage and maturation of IL18 (PubMed : 37993714). Cleavage of GSDMD and IL18 is not strictly dependent on the consensus cleavage site but depends on an exosite interface on CASP4 (PubMed : 37993714). During non-canonical inflammasome activation, cuts CGAS and may play a role in the regulation of antiviral innate immune activation (PubMed : 28314590).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.

Post-translational modifications

The two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an autocatalytic mechanism.
