    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Cleaved Caspase-6 (Asp162) Antibody detects endogenous levels of the large subunit of active caspase-6 resulting from cleavage at Asp179 in human or Asp162 in mouse and rat (18 kDa). This antibody does not recognize other cleaved caspases.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the carboxy-terminal sequence of p18, the large subunit of rat caspase-6. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Caspase-6 (Mch2) is one of the major executioner caspases functioning in cellular apoptotic processes (1,2). Upon apoptotic stimulation, initiator caspases such as caspase-9 are cleaved and activated (3). The activated upstream caspases further process downstream executioner caspases, such as caspase-3 and caspase-6, by cleaving them into large and small subunits, thereby initiating a caspase cascade leading to apoptosis (4,5). One of the major targets for caspase-6 is the membrane associated protein lamin A (6). The cleavage of this protein causes cell membrane malfunction, membrane blebbing, and eventual cell death.
