Alternative names of antibody target:
CPP32 ,CASP3, apopain, procaspase3,CPP32B,SCA-1,CPP-32,Apopain,Yama
Immunogene sequence:
Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of caspase-3 large fragment
Properties
If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
Recommended usage:
Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects proform and the cleaved large fragment of caspase-3.
Formulation of this antibody:
100 µg (0.2 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-caspase-3 polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, 0.02% thimerosal.
Description
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.Human and some mouse caspases are active in apoptosis and cell death and even in necrosis and inflammation. CASP Gene and orthologous enzymes have been identifies successfully in the signal transduction cascade and pathways.
Background information:
Caspase family of cysteine proteases has been shown to play a key role in apoptosis. Caspase-3 is synthesized as an inactive pro-enzyme (32 kDa) that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by another upstream protease. The processed form of caspase-3 consists of large (17 kD) and small (12 kD) subunits which associate to form an active enzyme. The active caspase-3 proteolytically cleaves and activates other caspases, as well as relevant targets in the cells (e.g., PARP and DFF).
