bsm-70374M

DATASHEET

Host: Mouse

Target Protein: Caspase-3 (p17 subunit)

Specificity: The antibody detects pro Caspase-3 at 32 kDa* and the large subunit of the cleaved form of Caspase-3 at 14-21 kDa. The antibody can be used for western blot, immunohistochemistry and immuno-electron microscopy. The antibody recognizes an epitope in the large domain subunit (p17) of Caspase-3, and it will recognize pro Caspase-3 and the p17 cleavage fragment.

Clonality: Monoclonal

Isotype: IgG1

Swiss Prot: P42574

Source: Clone 31A1067 was developed against full-length recombinant human Caspase-3.

Purification: Purified by Protein G.

Storage Buffer: PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Background:

The caspases are a group of cysteine enzymes, which cleave proteins in response to intrinsic and extrinsic pathways that cause apoptotic cell death. The caspases can be grouped into two subgroups based on their roles in apoptosis. Initiator caspases (caspases 2, 8, 9, and 10) are activated through the apoptosis-signaling pathways and activate the effector caspases (caspases 3, 6, and 7) which carry out apoptosis. Caspase cascades are initiated through assembly of multiprotein complexes that trigger activation of the initiator caspases, which are then released and are able to activate the downstream effector caspases.
