    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Caspase-7 (C7) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of caspase-7 proform as well as the 30 and 20 kDa cleaved fragments. This antibody does not cross-react with other caspases.

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant human caspase-7 protein.

    Background

    Caspase-7 (CMH-1, Mch3, ICE-LAP3) has been identified as a major contributor to the execution of apoptosis (1-4). Caspase-7, like caspase-3, is an effector caspase that is responsible for cleaving downstream substrates such as (ADP-ribose) polymerase and PARP (1,3). During apoptosis, caspase-7 is activated through proteolytic processing by upstream caspases at Asp23, Asp198, and Asp206 to produce the mature subunits (1,3). Similar to caspase-2 and -3, caspase-7 preferentially cleaves substrates following the recognition sequence DEVD (5).
