Anti-Caspase 3 (Caspase-3, CASP3, CASP-3, Apopain, Cysteine Protease CPP32, CPP32, CPP-32, CPP32B, P

Caspase 3 is ubiquitously expressed and like other caspases is synthesized as an inactive (32kD) proenzyme. Upon activation, Caspase 3 is cleaved at Asp28-Ser29 and Asp175-Ser176 thereby generating two subunits of 17kD and 12kD, respectively. Recent studies have implicated that Caspase 3 is associated with the induction of apoptosis. Activation of Caspase 3 occurs in response to variety of apoptotic inducers including Fas mediated apoptosis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:32,000, Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml, observed in lysates of cell line MOLT4 on ~30kD bands, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
