Caspase-7 Antibody (Mch3 1-1-11)

Knockdown Validated: Caspase-7 Antibody (Mch3 1-1-11) [NB500-206] - Western blot shows lysates of A549 human lung epithelial parental cell line and Caspase-7 knockout (KO) A549 cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1:500 of Mouse Anti-Human Caspase-7 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # NB500-106) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog #HAF018). Specific band was detected for Caspase-7 at approximately 40 kDa (as indicated) in the parental A549 cell line, but is not detectable in the knockout A549 cell line. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions.

Western Blot: Caspase-7 Antibody (Mch3 1-1-11) [NB500-206] - HeLa whole cell lysate.

Simple Western: Caspase-7 Antibody (Mch3 1-1-11) [NB500-206] - Simple Western lane view shows a specific band for Caspase 7 in 0.5 mg/ml of HeLa lysate. This experiment was performed under reducing A246 conditions using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background

Caspases are evolutionary conserved family of aspartate-specific cystein proteases which are essential part of apoptotic machinery and typically signal in a two-step cascade: 'initiator caspases' with large prodomains (such as caspase-1, -8 and -9) are first recruited into large protein complexes in which they undergo proximity-induced autoactivation and "executioner caspases" such as caspase-3 and -6, caspase-7 which are activated by initiator caspases via freeing of executioner caspases of their short inhibitory prodomain, allowing them to cleave a large set of cellular substrates. Localized in cytoplasm, caspase 7 is a heterotetramer that is consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kD (p20) and a 11 kD (p11) subunit, and interacts with BIRC6/bruce. Caspase 7 cleaves/activates SREBPs and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Its overexpression promotes apoptosis, and it also implicates in inflammation signaling. Therapeutic intervention with caspase-7 has been shown to prove beneficial in conditions where excessive cell death and/or inflammation contribute to diseases e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and NIDDM.
