This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Caspases mediate cellular apoptosis through the proteolytic cleavage of specific protein substrates. The encoded protein may function in stress-induced cell death pathways, cell cycle maintenance, and the suppression of tumorigenesis. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

Applications
WB, ELISA
Modification
Cleaved Specific
Source
Polyclonal Rabbit
Dilution
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/10000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Caspase 2. AA range:276-325
Specificity
Cleaved-Caspase-2 p18 (T325) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of fragment of activated Caspase-2 p18 protein resulting from cleavage adjacent to T325.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Western blot analysis of lysates from rat heart and rat lung, using Caspase 2 (p18,Cleaved-Thr325) Antibody. The lane on the right is blocked with the synthesized peptide.
