Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (17/19 kDa) of activated caspase-3 resulting from cleavage adjacent to Asp175. This antibody does not recognize full length caspase-3 or other cleaved caspases.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues adjacent to Asp175 of human caspase-3.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from C6 (rat), NIH/3T3 (mouse), and Jurkat (human) cells, untreated or treated with staurosporine #9953 (1uM, 3hrs) or etoposide #2200 (25uM, 5hrs) as indicated, using Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit mAb.

IP

IP

Immunoprecipitation of extracts from Jurkat cells, untreated or etoposide-treated (25uM, 5hrs), using Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit mAb. Western blot was performed using the same antibody.

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).
