- Extra Details:
- Apoptosis; or programmed cell death; is a common property of all multicellular organisms. The current dogma of apoptosis suggests that the components of the core cell-death machinery are integral to cells and widely conserved across species. Caspases; a family of cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases; are integral components of the cell death machinery (reviewed in Siegal; 2006; and Lavrik et al; 2005). They play a central role in the initiation and execution of apoptotic cell death and in inflammation. Caspases are typically divided into 3 major groups; depending on the structure of their prodomain and their function. Group 1: inflammatory caspases (caspases 1; 4; 5; 11; 12; 14). Group II: initiator of apoptosis caspases (caspases 2; 8; 9). Group II: effector caspases (caspases 3; 6; 7). Caspases are synthesized as zymogens (inactive pro enzyme precursors which require a biochemical change to become active enzymes) with an N-terminal prodomain of variable length followed by a large subunit (p20) and a small subunit (p10). Caspases are activated through proteolytic cleavage at specific asparagine residues that are located within the prodomain; the p10; and p20 subunits. Activation results in the generation of mature active caspases that consist of the heterotetramer p202-p102. Active caspases mediate cell death and inflammation through cleavage of particular cellular substrates that are involved in these processes. The Active/Cleaved Caspase-7 polyclonal antibody antisera recognizes the large (approx. 17-22 kDa) and small (approx. 10 kDa) subunits of active/cleaved caspase-7. Whereas the antisera has a strong preference for active/cleaved caspase-7; in some cell or tissue systems or techniques the antisera may also recognize the proform of Caspase-7 (approx. 35 kDa).
