    Product Usage Information

    CST recommends transfection with 33 nM SignalSilence® Pool Caspase 3 siRNA. Decreased Caspase-3 expression was seen 24-72 hours post-transfection. See Protocol for transfection procedure.

    Storage

    SignalSilence® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.

    Product Description

    SignalSilence® Pool Caspase-3 siRNA allows the researcher to specifically inhibit Caspase-3 expression using RNA interference, a method in which gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. The Caspase-3 siRNA is a hetergeneous mixture of 21-22 bp siRNAs. A 433 bp cDNA template of caspase-3 was transcribed by T7 RNA polymerase to create double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). RNase III was used to cleave the dsRNA in the presence of manganese buffer to 21-22 bp siRNA. All SignalSilence® siRNA are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce protein expression in specified cell lines.

    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).

    Alternate Names

    Casp 3; Casp3; Caspase-3; Caspase3
