Apoptosis occurs during normal cellular development and involves dramatic changes in cellular structure. Disruption of apoptosis may contribute to cancer as well as other autoimmune diseases. Caspase family of cysteine proteases has been shown to play a key role in apoptosis. Caspase-8 is a 55 kDa cytosolic protein that is synthesized as an inactive pro-enzyme. Activation of caspase-8 involves a two-step proteolysis: the cleavage of caspase-8 to generate a 43 and a 12 kDa fragment which is further processed to 10 kDa. The p43 is then cleaved to yield p26 and the release of the active site containing p18.The Active/Cleaved Caspase-8 polyclonal antisera recognizes the large and small subunits of active/cleaved caspase-8. Whereas the antisera has a strong preference for active/cleaved caspase-8, in some cell or tissue systems or techniques the antisera may also recognize the proform of caspase-8 as well as intermediate caspase-8 cleavage fragments.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic/therapeutics procedures.
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm |
| Post transnational modification: | Phosphorylation on Ser-387 during mitosis by CDK1 inhibits activation by proteolysis and prevents apoptosis. This phosphorylation occurs in cancer cell lines, as well as in primary breast tissues and lymphocytes. |
| Tissue Specificity: | Isoform 1, isoform 5 and isoform 7 are expressed in a wide variety of tissues. Highest expression in peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, thymus and liver. Barely detectable in brain, testis and skeletal muscle. |
| BioGrid: | 107291. 153 interactions. |
