Monoclonal Antibody for studying Casp3 (Asp175) cleaved. Validated for Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugate) (CST #9978) 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 antibodies. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Protocol Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized) Specificity / Sensitivity Cleaved Caspase-3 (Asp175) (5A1E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (PE Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of the large fragment (17/19 kDa) of activated caspase-3 resulting from cleavage adjacent to Asp175. This antibody conjugate does not recognize full length caspase-3 or other cleaved caspases. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino terminus residues adjacent to 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).
