caspase-3 Antibody (31A1067): sc-56053

caspase-3 Antibody (31A1067) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody designed to detect both active caspase-3 and its inactive precursor, procaspase-3, across multiple species including mouse, rat, and human. Caspase-3, also known as apopain, SCA-1, Yama, and CPP32, is a crucial aspartate-specific cysteine protease within the ICE subfamily of caspases. Caspase-3 plays a pivotal role in the execution phase of apoptosis, the programmed cell death process essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and eliminating damaged or unwanted cells. Upon activation, caspase-3 cleaves key substrates like PARP, leading to the dismantling of cellular components necessary for apoptosis. Additionally, caspase-3 is involved in activating other caspases, including caspase-6, -7, and -9, thereby amplifying the apoptotic signal. The human caspase-3 gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein abundantly expressed in vital organs such as the lung, spleen, heart, liver, and kidney, as well as in immune cells. Understanding and detecting caspase-3 activity is essential for research in fields like cancer, neurodegeneration, and immune response, where apoptosis plays a significant role. Caspase-3 (31A1067) monoclonal antibody is versatile and suitable for various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
