Specificity

Recognizes the full length 32 kDa caspase-3 protein. Highly specific to caspase-3 and shows no cross-reaction with other caspase family members. Caspase-3 is ubiquitously expressed and like other caspases is synthesized as an inactive proenzyme. Upon activation, caspase-3 is cleaved generating two smaller subunits of 17 kDa and 12 kDa. Caspase-3 is one of the most extensively studied enzyme in apoptosis. Activation of caspase-3 occurs in response to a variety of apoptotic inducers.

Storage and Stability

Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months.
