Gene Information

human ... CASP3(836)

General description

CASP3 (caspase 3) is a cysteine protease belonging to the caspase protein family, and is related to interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE). It is the human homologue of Caenorhabditis elegans Ced-3 protein. This protein forms a key element of apoptosis.

Specificity

Detects recombinant human precursor caspase 3 and the 18 kDa form produced during apoptosis.

Immunogen

recombinant 18 kDa subunit, amino acids 29-175, of human caspase 3.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CASP3 (caspase 3) is an essential protein of apoptosis, which includes multiple death-inducing signals, and caspase 3 functions at the last steps of programmed cell death. This protein is shown to be expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and its down-regulation is related to increased malignancy and reduced overall survival. Its expression in metastatic lymph nodes (LN) might serve as a marker for poor survival prognosis in patients with resected ESCC and metastasis to LN. Studies in multiple cancers such as, gastric, colorectal, ovarian and cervical cancers show that aberrant expression of this gene is linked with cancer progression and aggressive behavior. It might have potential as a marker to determine the prognosis of the above cancers.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
