| Catalog Code: | NB120-10451 |
| Product Name: | Caspase 8 Antibody |
| Product Description: | Rabbit Polyclonal anti-Caspase 8 |
| Clonality: | Polyclonal |
| ListPrice: | 295 |
| Immunogen: | Synthetic peptide: K-GDNYQKGIPVETD conjugated to KLH, corresponding to amino acids 362-374 (with a N-terminal added lysine) of Human Caspase 8a (MACH alpha 1). |
| Epitope: | The immunogen sequence corresponds to the C-terminal region of the enzyme p20 subunit. |
| Specificity: | The sequence used as the immunogen corresponds to the C-terminal region of the enzyme p18 subunit and is identical in other human caspase 8 isoforms (MACHá2, MACHá3, MACHâ) and has limited homology (approx. 50%) to mouse caspase 8. By immunoblotting, the antibody reacts with caspase 8a and caspase 8b. |
| Cross Reactivity: | Cross-reacts with Human.Might cross-react with Mouse (50% identity with immunogen) due to sequence homology.Not yet tested in other species. |
| Packaging: | 0.1 ml |
| Uses: | WB: Use at a dilution of 1/1000 (determined by using a whole cell extract of the human Burkitt lymphoma Raji cell line). Anti-Caspase 8 (GD-13) recognizes human caspase 8a (55 kDa) and caspase 8b (54kDa) by immunoblotting. Staining of caspase 8 in immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with caspase 8 immunizing peptide. Not tested in other applications.Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Localization: | Cytoplasmic |
| Background: | Caspases are cysteine proteases, expressed as inactive precursors, that mediate apoptosis by proteolysis of specific substrates. Caspases have the ability to cleave after aspartic acid residues. There are two classes of caspases involved in apoptosis; initiators (activation by receptor cluster) and effectors (activation by mitochondrial permeability transition). Proapoptotic signals autocatalytically activate initiator caspases, such as Caspase 8 and Caspase 9. Activated initiator caspases then process effector caspases, such as Caspase 3 and Caspase 7, which in turn cause cell collapse. |
