Polyclonal Antibody for studying Casp3 (Asp175) cleaved. Validated for WB,WB,IP,IHC,IF,F. Available in 3 sizes. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) Antibody (CST #9661) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Simple Western™: 1:10 - 1:50 Immunoprecipitation: 1:100 Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1:400 Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry): 1:400 Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:800 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry), Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) Antibody detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (17/19 kDa) of activated caspase-3 resulting from cleavage adjacent to Asp175. This antibody does not recognize full length caspase-3 or other cleaved caspases. This antibody detects non-specific caspase substrates by western blot. 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, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues adjacent to (Asp175) in human caspase-3. 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).
