Description
Storage
Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), 2 mM EDTA, 0.05% Triton X-100, 2 mg/mL BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Single Cell Analysis - InTraSeq™ 3'
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (InTraSeq™ 3' Conjugate 3078) recognizes endogenous levels of caspase-3 protein only when cleaved at Asp175.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp175 of human caspase-3 protein.
Background
Caspase-3 (CPP-32, Apopain, Yama, SCA-1) is a critical executioner of apoptosis, as it is either partially or totally responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins, such as the nuclear enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (1). Activation of caspase-3 requires proteolytic processing of its inactive zymogen into activated p17 and p12 fragments. Cleavage of caspase-3 requires the aspartic acid residue at the P1 position (2).
