CST, 8788S, Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Pacific Blue™ Conjugate)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying Casp3 (Asp175) cleaved. Validated for Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Pacific Blue^™ Conjugate) (CST #8788) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:50 Storage Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide and 2 mg/ml BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Protocol Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (D3E9) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Pacific Blue™ Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of caspase-3 protein only when cleaved at Asp175. Non-specific labeling may be observed by immunofluorescence in specific sub-types of healthy cells in fixed-frozen tissues (e.g. pancreatic alpha-cells). Nuclear background may be observed in rat and monkey samples. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp175 of human caspase-3 protein. 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).
