The caspase family of cysteine proteases play a key role in apoptosis. Caspase-3 is the most extensively studied apoptotic protein among caspase family members. Caspase-3 is synthesized as inactive pro-enzyme that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by another upstream protease. The processed form of caspase-3 consists of large (17 kD) and small (12 kD) subunits which associate to form an active enzyme. The active caspase-3 proteolytically cleaves and activates other caspases, as well as relevant targets in the cells (e.g., PARP and DFF).

Mouse IgG1

C33

Human, mouse, rat

Recombinant human Caspase-3

0.2 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (200 µg/ml) in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5 mg/ml BSA and 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). The antibody recognizes both proform and the cleaved large fragment of caspase-3 in samples of human, mouse and rat origins. However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.Human and some mouse caspases are active in apoptosis and cell death and even in necrosis and inflammation. CASP Gene and orthologous enzymes have been identifies successfully in the signal transduction cascade and pathways.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
