Unit Definition
One unit of the recombinant human caspases is the enzyme activity that cleaves 1 nmol of the individual caspase substrate (YVAD-pNA for caspase-1, VDVAD-pNA for caspase-2, DEVD-pNA for caspase-3, WEHD-pNA for caspase-4 and –5, VEID-pNA for caspase-6, DEVD-pNA for caspase-7, IETD-pNA for caspase-8 and –10 and LEHD-pNA for caspase-9) per hour at 37°C in a reaction solution containing 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.1% Chaps, 10 mM EDTA, 5% Glycerol, and 10 mM DTT.

Reconstitution Instructions
The active recombinant caspases can be reconstituted to 0.1-1 unit per µl in PBS or the Reaction Buffer described above (available from BioVision, Cat.# 1068-20) for longer stability. We recommend using 1 unit per assay for analyzing caspase activity.
-
Background Information
Active recombinant caspases are useful in screening caspase inhibitors, studying enzyme kinetics, determining substrate specificity, and as a positive control in caspase activity assays.

Properties
Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
