• Application: Anti-Caspase-3, clone 3J16 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1221, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets Caspase-3 and has been tested for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Caspase-3 (UniProt: P42574; also known as EC:3.4.22.56, CASP-3, Apopain, Cysteine protease CPP32, CPP-32, Protein Yama, SREBP cleavage activity 1, SCA-1) is encoded by the CASP3 (also known as CPP32) gene (Gene ID: 836) in human. Cysteine-aspartic proteases or Caspases play essential roles in apoptosis, necrosis, and inflammation. Historically, caspases were numbered in the order in which they were identified. Caspase-3 is a heterotetrameric enzyme that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 17 kDa (p17) and a 12 kDa (p12) subunit. Caspase-3 is initially produced with a propeptide sequence (aa 1-9), the removal of which yields the 268 amino acids caspase-3 proenzyme. Upon activation, the proenzyme is proteolytically cleaved first between Asp175-Ser176 to generate a p20 (aa 10-175) fragment and the p12 (aa 176-277) subunit. Further cleavage of the p20 fragment between Asp28-Ser29 produces the p17 (aa 29-175) subunit. The p17 and p12 subunits dimerize and forms the active caspase-3 enzyme. Caspase-3 has a strict requirement for an Asp residue at positions P1 and P4. It has a preferred cleavage sequence of Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp-|- with a hydrophobic amino-acid residue at P2 and a hydrophilic amino-acid residue at P3, although Val or Ala are also accepted at this position. Caspase-3 is involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. At the onset of apoptosis it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a Asp216-|-Gly217 bond. Caspase-3 mediates the proteolytic activation of caspases-6 and -7, while caspase-3 itself is processed and activated by caspase-8, -9, or -10. It is the predominant caspase involved in the cleavage of amyloid-beta 4A precursor protein that is associated with neuronal death in Alzheimer′s disease. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
