Specificity
This affinity purified antibody is directed against rat and mouse caspase-2. The antibody detects long and short forms of the protein. Antiserum was purified against the immunizing peptide. This antibody reacts with mouse and rat caspase-2, but not caspase-2 from human sources. Cross reactivity with caspase-2 from other sources has not been determined. Rat and mouse caspase-2 show 94% homology. There is no significant homology to the human form.

Applicable Applications for anti-Casp2 antibody
Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA)
Application Notes
This affinity purified polyclonal antibody was tested by ELISA and immunoblotting and was found to be reactive with 48 kDa mouse and rat caspase-2. A control and rat caspase-2 transfected human 293 cell lysate was used to show by immunoblotting that this antibody detects rat caspase-2. No reaction was observed against human caspase-2. Immunoblot of mouse neuronal cell lysates from wild-type and caspase-2 (-/-) mice (not shown) was used to show that this antibody cross reacts with mouse caspase-2.

Apoptosis occurs during normal cellular development and involves dramatic changes in cellular structure. Disruption of apoptosis may contribute to cancer and other diseases. Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that are key mediators of programmed cell death or apoptosis. Caspase-2 has been called ICH-1 in human, CED-3 in C.elegans and NEDD-2 in mouse. Caspase-2 is synthesized as an inactive precursor that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis. The precursor form of all caspases is composed of a pro-domain, and large and small catalytic subunits. The active forms of caspases are generated by several stimuli, including ligand-receptor interactions, growth factor deprivation and inhibitors of cellular functions. Caspase-2 is activated in vitro by caspase-1, caspase-3 and granzyme B. Caspase-2 functions as an upstream apoptosis initiator that participates in the activation of downstream caspases, such as caspase-3, caspase-6 and caspase-7. Caspase-2 is highly expressed in embryonic mouse brain but not in adult neural tissue. Alternative mRNA splicing produces a long (48 kDa) and short (35 kDa) form of caspase-2. These forms show tissue specificity and function either as inducers or suppressors of apoptosis. Mature caspase-2 is 435 amino acids in length cleaved (~50 kDa) and is cleaved upon activation into 10 and 20 kDa subunits.

Product Notes
The Casp2 casp2 (Catalog #AAA4156962) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Caspase-2 Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Caspase-2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). This affinity purified polyclonal antibody was tested by ELISA and immunoblotting and was found to be reactive with 48 kDa mouse and rat caspase-2. A control and rat caspase-2 transfected human 293 cell lysate was used to show by immunoblotting that this antibody detects rat caspase-2. No reaction was observed against human caspase-2. Immunoblot of mouse neuronal cell lysates from wild-type and caspase-2 (-/-) mice (not shown) was used to show that this antibody cross reacts with mouse caspase-2. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Casp2 casp2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Caspase-2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
