Description: ICE-LAP3 is a member of the ICE/Ced-3 subfamily, is an executioner caspase which undergoes proteolytic cleavage of its precursor to form active p12 and p20 subunits. Evidence that activation of Caspase-7 occurs during cell death induced by the cytokine death receptors Fas/APO-1 and the receptor of tumour necrosis factor (TNFR-1), coupled with the fact that granzyme-B activated Caspase-7 cleaves the nuclear enzyme poly (ADPribose) polymerase (PARP), suggests an important role for Caspase-7 in both cytokine-mediated and Granzyme-B mediated apoptosis pathways. Alternate Names: CASP7, Mch-3, ICE-LAP3, CMH-1, MCH3, Caspase 7, CASP 7, ICE-like apoptotic protease 3, ICE- LAP3, Apoptotic protease Mch-3, apoptosis-related cysteine protease, ICELAP3, CMH1.

Specificity: This antibody recognises an epitope within the C-terminal region (CT) of Caspase-7, a 35kDa cysteine protease, otherwise known as ICE-like Apoptotic Protease 3 (ICE-LAP3) Caspase-7.

Application Details

Application Notes: Western Blot: 1.0ug/ml - 2.0ug/ml. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections: 2.0ug/ml, this product does not require protein digestion pre-treatment of paraffin sections eg. Trypsin or pronase prior to staing, this product does not require antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections. Recommended Positive Control: Skeletal muscle tissue. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
