Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Bovine, Pig
Specificity / Sensitivity
Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit mAb (Pacific Blue™ Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of caspase-3 protein only when cleaved at Asp175.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp175 of human caspase-3 protein.
Description
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Pacific BlueTMfluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated antibody Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit mAb #9579.
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).
