ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 12 amino acids from the p17 subunit of human Caspase-3.

Application

Anti-Caspase-3, clone 3J16 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1221, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets Caspase-3 and has been tested for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Caspase-3 in human tonsil and human kidney tissue sections.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 0.1 μg from a representative lot detected Caspase-3 in Jurkat cells.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Caspase-3 in Jurkat cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens and experimental conditions may vary.

Target description

Caspase-3 (UniProt: P42574; also known as EC:3.4.22.56, CASP-3, Apopain, Cysteine protease CPP32, CPP-32, Protein Yama, SREBP cleavage activity 1, SCA-1) is encoded by the CASP3 (also known as CPP32) gene (Gene ID: 836) in human. Cysteine-aspartic proteases or Caspases play essential roles in apoptosis, necrosis, and inflammation. Historically, caspases were numbered in the order in which they were identified. Caspase-3 is a heterotetrameric enzyme that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 17 kDa (p17) and a 12 kDa (p12) subunit. Caspase-3 is initially produced with a propeptide sequence (aa 1-9), the removal of which yields the 268 amino acids caspase-3 proenzyme. Upon activation, the proenzyme is proteolytically cleaved first between Asp175-Ser176 to generate a p20 (aa 10-175) fragment and the p12 (aa 176-277) subunit. Further cleavage of the p20 fragment between Asp28-Ser29 produces the p17 (aa 29-175) subunit. The p17 and p12 subunits dimerize and forms the active caspase-3 enzyme. Caspase-3 has a strict requirement for an Asp residue at positions P1 and P4. It has a preferred cleavage sequence of Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp-|- with a hydrophobic amino-acid residue at P2 and a hydrophilic amino-acid residue at P3, although Val or Ala are also accepted at this position. Caspase-3 is involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. At the onset of apoptosis it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a Asp216-|-Gly217 bond. Caspase-3 mediates the proteolytic activation of caspases-6 and -7, while caspase-3 itself is processed and activated by caspase-8, -9, or -10. It is the predominant caspase involved in the cleavage of amyloid-beta 4A precursor protein that is associated with neuronal death in Alzheimer′s disease. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
