Because of the intimate role of caspase-8 in apoptosis signaling pathways from FAS, TNFR1, and other death receptors, the enzyme is a potentially important therapeutic target. We have generated an Escherichia coli expression construct for caspase-8 in which a His-tag

Many designated substrates and inhibitors have been widely used to investigate the roles of caspases in apoptotic death during mammalian cell culture. However, the specificities of these substrates and inhibitors have not been systematically evaluated. As a result, conclusions on
