Background :

Caspase-6 Antibody: Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that can be divided into the apoptotic and inflammatory caspase subfamilies. Unlike the apoptotic caspases, members of the inflammatory subfamily are generally not involved in cell death but are associated with the immune response to microbial pathogens. The apoptotic subfamily can be further divided into initiator caspases, which are activated in response to death signals, and executioner caspases, which are activated by the initiator caspases and are responsible for cleavage of cellular substrates that ultimately lead to cell death. Caspase-6 is an executioner caspase that was idientifed based on its homology with human caspases 2 and 3 as well as the C. elegans cell death protein CED-3. It possesses two isoforms, of which only the longer form possesses protease activity. Caspase-6 is highly expressed in adult brain and may play a role in several neuronal pathologies.

ALTnames :

Caspase-6 Antibody: MCH2, MCH2, Caspase-6, Apoptotic protease Mch-2, CASP-6

Immunogen :

Caspase-6 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino-terminus of human Caspase-6.

Specificity :

Depending on cell lines or tissues used, either full-length or other cleavage products may be observed.

Purity :

Caspase-6 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.

Buffer :

Caspase-6 Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Concentration :

1 mg/mL

Uses :

E, WB, ICC

Application Summary :

Caspase-6 antibody can be used for the detection of caspase-6 by Western blot at 0.5 to 2 g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunocytochemistry starting at 2 g/mL.

Storage :

Caspase-6 antibody can be stored at 4 C for three months and -20 C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
