Caspase 11 (Casp4, Caspase 4, Aoptosis-related cysteine peptidase, Casp11, ASP-4, Caspase-4, Caspl, Ich3, ich-3, Protease ICH-3) (Not for Export EU)

Caspase-11, (also known as CASP-11, ICH-3, ICE-B) promotes IL-b processing by procaspase-1 (ICE) and therefore may also have a role in inflammatory response as evident by a 30 fold increase in CASP-11 activity by LPS. The mouse and rat CASP-11 (373aa) are most homologous to human CASP-4 (377aa) protein (ICErel-II, TX, ICH-2) and could possibly be the ortholog of human CASP-4. The pro-or zymogen form of CASP-11 is activated by Granzyme-B or cathepsin-B and the processed enzyme consists of two large p20 (20kD) and two small ~p10 (10kDa subunits. CASP-11 is highly expressed in lung and spleen, weaker in heart and very little in liver, kidney, testis and skeletal muscle but has not been detected in the brain.

Suitable for use in Western Blot and ELISA. Other applications not tested.

Western Blotting (1-10ug/ml for affinity pure antibody using ECL technique).
ELISA: Control peptide can be used to coat ELISA plates at 1ug/ml and detected with antibodies (0.5-1ug/ml for affinity pure).
Optimal dilution determined by the researcher.

May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
