Additional Information

Alternative name: Caspase-7

Gene ID: 840

UniProt: P55210

Description: Other names: CASP7, MCH3, Caspase-7 subunit p11, Apoptotic protease Mch-3,CMH-1

Characteristics: Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody

Specificity: A synthetic peptide corresponding to N-terminal residues of human Pro-Caspase-7 was used as immunogen. The antibody only recognizes the pro-form of Caspase-7. It does not react with the cleaved forms (active enzyme) of Caspase-7.

Molecular Weight: 34 kDA

Comments:

Background: Caspases are a family of cytosolic aspartate-specific cysteine proteases involved in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. Caspase-7 (CMH-1, Mch3, ICE-LAP3) is an effector caspase involved in the activation cascade for apoptosis execution (1,2,3). Pro-Caspase-7 is a 35-kDa protein localized to the cytoplasm and expressed in a variety of tissues and cell lines (1). Upon activation, Caspase-7 is translocated to the mitochondria, and proceeds to proteolytically cleave poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (2,3) and endoplasmic reticular-specific substrate, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (4).
