Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of caspase-3 protein only when cleaved at Asp175. This antibody is preferred for immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry applications. This antibody detects non-specific caspase substrates by western blot.

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, Apoptain, 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).
