Description

The Human Caspase 1 (Casp-1) ELISA Kit is suitable for quantitative detection of Casp-1 in serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. Samples or standards are added into the microwells and bind to the anti-human Casp-1 antibody immobilized on the microplate. A sandwich is formed by the addition of the biotin-conjugated Casp-1 antibody. The TMB substrate solution is added that reacts with the enzyme-antibody-target complex to elicit a chromogenic reaction. The intensity of the solution color is directly proportional to the concentration of Casp-1 present in the original specimen. This kit has been verified with a wide detection range, high sensitivity, excellent specificity, precision less than 10%, good linearity, high recovery, and good consistency between lots. Refer to the product instructions for more verification details.

Casp-1 is synthesized as an inactive zymogen that is recruited and activated by inflammasomes. It plays a crucial role in cell immunity as an inflammatory response inhibitor. After activation by inflammasomes, Casp-1 initiates a pro-inflammatory response through the cleavage and subsequent activation of the two inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18 as well as gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis, thus killing the infectious agent. In the absence of GSDMD, Casp-1 induces apoptosis involves the Bid-caspase-9-caspase-3 axis, which can elicit secondary necrosis/pyroptosis mediated by GSDME/DFNA5.

Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)

Thiol protease involved in a variety of inflammatory processes by proteolytically cleaving other proteins, such as the precursors of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) and interleukin 18 (IL18) as well as the pyroptosis inducer Gasdermin-D (GSDMD), into active mature peptides. Plays a key role in cell immunity as an inflammatory response initiator: once activated through formation of an inflammasome complex, it initiates a proinflammatory response through the cleavage of the two inflammatory cytokines IL1B and IL18, releasing the mature cytokines which are involved in a variety of inflammatory processes. Cleaves a tetrapeptide after an Asp residue at position P1. Also initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death pathway, through cleavage of GSDMD. In contrast to cleavage of interleukins IL1B and IL1B, recognition and cleavage of GSDMD is not strictly dependent on the consensus cleavage site but depends on an exosite interface on CASP1 that recognizes and binds the Gasdermin-D, C-terminal (GSDMD-CT) part. Upon inflammasome activation, during DNA virus infection but not RNA virus challenge, controls antiviral immunity through the cleavage of CGAS, rendering it inactive. In apoptotic cells, cleaves SPHK2 which is released from cells and remains enzymatically active extracellularly.; Apoptosis inactive.; Apoptosis inactive.
