Background

CASP2 is equal to Caspase-2. And Caspase-2, which is involved in stress-induced apoptosis, is recruited into a large protein complex, the molecular composition of which remains elusive. It is showed that activation of caspase-2 occurs in a complex that contains the death domain-containing protein PIDD, whose expression is induced by p53, and the adaptor protein RAIDD. Increased PIDD expression resulted in spontaneous activation of caspase-2 and sensitization to apoptosis by genotoxic stimuli. Caspase-2 acts both as a positive and negative cell death effector, depending upon cell lineage and stage of development.

Gene Name

CASP2

Gene ID

835

UniProt

P42575

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Caspase-2, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed at higher levels in the embryonic lung, liver and kidney than in the heart and brain. In adults, higher level expression is seen in the placenta, lung, kidney, and pancreas than in the heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle.

Applications

WB

Field of Research

Apoptosis, Apoptotic Markers, Cancer, Caspases, Cell Biology, Cell Death, Intracellular, Invasion/Microenvironment, Metabolism, Metabolism Processes, Pathways and Processes, Proteolysis/Ubiquitin, Proteolytic Enzymes

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival.
