CST, 97864W2, Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex™ Pacific Blue™ Conjugate)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying Casp3 (Asp175) cleaved. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SignalFlex^™ Pacific Blue^™ Conjugate) (CST #97864) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology ® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate. 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. Specificity / Sensitivity Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ Pacific Blue™ Conjugate) 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. Non-specific labeling may be observed by immunofluorescence in specific sub-types of healthy cells in fixed-frozen tissues (e.g. pancreatic alpha-cells). Cytoplasmic background may be observed in human and monkey samples. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino-terminal residues adjacent to Asp175 of 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).
