Long description
Caspases are key effectors of programmed cell death. Caspase-7 along with caspase 3 and 6 form the group of effector caspases that are responsible for the cleavage of multiple substrates including the cytokeratins, PARP, alpha fodrin, NuMA and others. Caspase-7 is a 303 amino acid protein with high similarity to caspase-3. Caspase-7 occurs in three varient forms. Granzyme B activates pro-caspase-7 to a form which can cleave poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) to its signature fragment of ~85 kDa. Also, in vivo caspase-7 appears to be a better substrate for granzyme B than caspase-3. Pro-caspase-7 has been shown to exist as dimers or high order oligomers. Caspase-7 may be an important intracellular effector of granzyme B-mediated apoptosis and cytotoxic T-lymophocyte-induced cell killing in vivo.

Description
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided. Human and some mouse caspases are active in apoptosis and cell death and even in necrosis and inflammation. CASP Gene and orthologous enzymes have been identifies successfully in the signal transduction cascade and pathways.

Test
Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
