Anti-Cleaved Caspase-3 antibody [EPR21032]

Target data

Thiol protease that acts as a major effector caspase involved in the execution phase of apoptosis (PubMed : 16469926, PubMed : 8934524). Following cleavage and activation by initiator caspases (CASP8, CASP9 and/or CASP10), mediates execution of apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage of many proteins (PubMed : 16469926, PubMed : 8934524). At the onset of apoptosis, it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP1 at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond. 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 (CASP6, CASP7 and CASP9, respectively). Cleaves and inactivates interleukin-18 (IL18) (By similarity). Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage (By similarity). Cleaves IL-1 beta between an Asp and an Ala, releasing the mature cytokine which is involved in a variety of inflammatory processes (By similarity). Cleaves and inhibits serine/threonine-protein kinase AKT1 in response to oxidative stress (PubMed : 12124386). Acts as an inhibitor of type I interferon production during virus-induced apoptosis by mediating cleavage of antiviral proteins CGAS, IRF3 and MAVS, thereby preventing cytokine overproduction (PubMed : 30878284). Also involved in pyroptosis by mediating cleavage and activation of gasdermin-E (GSDME) (By similarity). Cleaves XRCC4 and phospholipid scramblase proteins XKR4, XKR8 and XKR9, leading to promote phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface (PubMed : 25231987, PubMed : 33725486). Cleaves BIRC6 following inhibition of BIRC6-caspase binding by DIABLO/SMAC (By similarity).
