Mouse monoclonal [8CSP03] to Caspase 8Caspase 8 binds to the death effector domain (DED) of FADD through an analogous DED domain present in tandem in the proform of the Caspase 8 protein. Recruitment of Caspase 8 to the Fas receptor results in oligomerization of the Caspase 8 protein, which in turn drives its autoactivation through "self-cleavage". Activated Caspase 8 then activates other downstream caspases including Caspase 9, thereby, commiting the cell to undergo apoptosis. Reacts with Jurkat cells and Tonsil. |
