There are several types of caspase activity assays, each designed to target specific caspases:
Caspase-3/7 Assays: These are among the most commonly used assays as caspase-3 and -7 are key executioners of apoptosis. Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 Assays: These assays help differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis. Pan-caspase Assays: These assays detect the activity of multiple caspases simultaneously, offering a broad overview of apoptotic activity.
