DescriptionRecombinant, human caspase-3 expressed in E. coli as the proenzyme, which is subsequently cleaved to produce the active enzyme. The active enzyme is a heterodimer with subunit molecular weights of 12 kDa and 19 kDa. Suitable for the study of enzyme regulation and kinetics, target substrate cleavage and inhibitor screening. Caspase-3 is a member of the ICE family of cysteine proteases that is activated during apoptotic signaling events by upstream proteases, including caspase-6, caspase-8 (FLICE) and cytotoxic T-cell-derived granzyme B.

FormulationIn 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.5% CHAPS, pH 7.4.
Recommended reaction conditions
Caspase-3 Activity Assay This protocol is provided as a general guide; conditions should be optimized for individual experiments.
Materials Required •Assay Buffer: 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM HEPES, 10 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, 0.1% CHAPS, pH 7.4 •Caspase-3: Dilute the recombinant caspase-3 to 10 U/µl in Assay Buffer just prior to use. •Caspase-3 Substrate I, Colorimetric (Cat. No. 235400): Prepare a 20 mM stock solution in DMSO (for 5 mg peptide add 392 µl DMSO). Dilute 1:10 in Assay Buffer (2 mM final concentration) just prior to use. •Half-volume 96-well plate Protocol: Reaction Conditions at Vmax (saturated substrate):
1. Add 87 µl Assay Buffer into a half-volume 96-well plate. Allow the plate to equilibrate to room temperature (20°C). 2. Add 3 µl Caspase-3 (10 U/µl) to each well (leave 2 blanks that do not contain Caspase-3). 3. To start the reaction, add 10 µl Caspase-3 Substrate I, Colorimetric (2 mM in assay buffer). The final substrate concentration per well is 200 µM. 4. Continuously monitor the absorbance at 405nm. 5. Graph absorbance vs. time and determine the slope during from the linear part of the curve. Convert to substrate amounts using the extinction coefficient for p-nitroaniline (~10,000 M-1cm-1) and adjusting for pathlength.
