Target data

Function

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution (PubMed:7596430). At the onset of apoptosis it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond (PubMed:7774019). Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain. Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9 (PubMed:7596430). Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin (PubMed:8696339). Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage (PubMed:21357690). Cleaves and inhibits serine/threonine-protein kinase AKT1 in response to oxidative stress (PubMed:23152800).

Notes

Cleaved Caspase-3 Staining Kit (FITC) ab65613 provides a convenient means for sensitive detection of activated Caspase-3 in living cells.

The cleaved caspase 3 assay utilizes the Caspase-3 inhibitor, DEVD-FMK, conjugated to FITC (FITC-DEVD-FMK) as a marker. FITC-DEVD-FMK is cell permeable, non-toxic, and irreversibly binds to activated Caspase-3 in apoptotic cells. The FITC label allows detection of activated / cleaved caspase-3 in apoptotic cells directly by fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, or fluorescence plate reader.

    Functional Studies - Cleaved Caspase-3 Staining Kit (FITC) (ab65613)

    Caspase-3 activation was measured by flow cytometry, using ab65613, in cells that were left alone or pretreated with QVD.oph and then treated with I-CRP (1.25 U/ml) or a drug that induces DNA strand breaks (100 μM) for 24 h, data was then analyzed and graphed.
