Caspase-12 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Caspase-12 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the center of murine Caspase-12. The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of Caspase-12.
Caspase-12 antibody can be used for detection of caspase-12 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 μ,g/mL.

Caspase-12 Antibody: Three distinct signaling pathways lead to programmed cell death (apoptosis). The death receptor and mitochondrion pathways are the mains, in which the key apoptotic proteases capase-8 and caspase-9, respectively, are involved. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is the third apoptotic pathway and caspase-12 is involved. Caspase-12 is localized to the ER but not to cytoplasm or mitochondrion. Caspase-12 is activated by ER stress, including disruption of ER calcium homeostasis, and mediates ER stress-induced apoptosis. Caspase-12 is co-localized to the ER with several proteins that are involved in Alzheimer's disease including gamma-secretase presenilin and beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). Caspase-12 mediates cytotoxicity induced by amyloid-beta.
