Background of Caspase-1 antibody

Caspase-1, or interleukin-1ß converting enzyme (ICE/ICEa), is a class I cysteine protease, which also includes caspases -4, -5, -11, and -12. Caspase-1 cleaves inflammatory cytokines such as pro-IL-1ß and interferon-? inducing factor (IL-18) into their mature forms . Like other caspases, caspase-1 is proteolytically activated from a proenzyme to produce a tetramer of its two active subunits, p20 and p10. Caspase-1 has a large amino-termil pro-domain that contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD). Overexpression of caspase-1 can induce apoptosis . Mice deficient in caspase-1, however, have no overt defects in apoptosis but do have defects in the maturation of pro-IL-1ß and are resistant to endotoxic shock . At least six caspase-1 isoforms have been identified, including caspase-1 a, ß, ?, d, e and ? . Most caspase-1 isoforms (a, ß, ? and d) produce products between 30-48 kDa and induce apoptosis upon over-expression. Caspase-1 e typically contains only the p10 subunit, does not induce apoptosis and may act as a domint negative. The widely expressed ? isoform of caspase-1 induces apoptosis and lacks 39 amino-termil residues found in the a isoform (6). Activation of caspase-1 occurs through an oligomerization molecular platform desigted the "inflammasome" that includes caspase-5, Pycard/Asc, and LP1 .
