Anti-Gasdermin E / GSDME / DFNA5

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. Gasdermin E, also known as GSDME or DFNA5, is a protein that was originally identified as a member of the gasdermin family, which are known for their role in inflammation and cell death. While other members of this family have been extensively studied, Gasdermin E remained relatively unexplored until recently. One of the most exciting findings regarding Gasdermin E is its role in pyroptosis, a form of cell death that is triggered by inflammasomes. Pyroptosis is a vital part of the immune response, as it helps to eliminate infected or damaged cells. Gasdermin E has been shown to be crucial for the execution of pyroptosis, acting as a pore-forming protein that allows for the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other molecules from the cell. In addition to its role in cell death, Gasdermin E has also been implicated in a variety of other cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Studies have shown that dysregulation of Gasdermin E can contribute to the development of various diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. Protein function: [Gasdermin-E]: Precursor of a pore-forming protein that converts non-inflammatory apoptosis to pyroptosis (PubMed:27281216, PubMed:28459430, PubMed:33852854, PubMed:35594856, PubMed:36607699). This form constitutes the precursor of the pore-forming protein: upon cleavage, the released N-terminal moiety (Gasdermin-E, N-terminal) binds to membranes and forms pores, triggering pyroptosis (PubMed:28459430).
