Product Details anti-CASP5 Antibody

Target: CASP5 (Caspase 5, Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Peptidase (CASP5))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This CASP5 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Specificity: This antibody recognises an epitope located within the internal region of human Caspase-5, a 47 kDa cysteine protease, otherwise known as ICH-3.

Purification: Antisera to human Caspase-5 were raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.

Background: Caspase-5 has been shown to be expressed at higher levels in the colon, lung, spleen, small intestine and by peripheral blood lymphocytes. Caspase-5 is a member of a growing number of inflammatory caspases belonging to the Caspase-1 (ICE-type) subfamily, which require proteolytic processing of their inactive precursor into smaller active subunits. Unlike Caspase-1, Caspase-5 is not directly responsible for the activation of IL-1Beta from the pro-IL-1Beta precursor, but the presence of Caspase-5 does appear to enhance the processing of IL-1Beta. The in vivo expression of Caspase-5 is elevated by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and gene expression is also increased by Interferon gamma (IFNg). In vitro studies have shown cleavage of Caspase-5 by the serine protease Granzyme B, which plays a major role in Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-induced apoptosis (1).Synonyms: CASP-5, CASP5, ICE(rel)-III, ICH-3 protease, ICH3, TY protease
