Recombinant Rat Caspase 3, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Casp3-748R
• Product Overview: Recombinant rat Casp3 was fused at the N- and C- terminus to a His•Tag sequence and expressed inE. colias a single polypeptide. Subsequently undergoes spontaneous yield the active enzyme. MW = 11000 and 17000.

Specification

• Cat. No.: Casp3-748R
• Description: The CASP3 protein is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes that undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein cleaves and activates caspases 6, 7, and 9; and the protein itself is processed by caspases 8, 9, and 10. It is the predominant caspase involved in the cleavage of amyloid-beta 4A precursor protein, which is associated with neuronal death in Alzheimer"s disease. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants that encode the same protein.
