Antigen Preparation
"A synthetic peptide derived from Internal sequence of mouse Caspase 12 protein. This sequence is identical to human, rat and mouse species."
Background
"Caspases belong to the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (Caspase) family which plays a major role in the transduction of the apoptotic signal and execution of apoptosis in mammalian cells. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce 2 subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein could be processed by caspases 7, 8 and 10, and is thought to function as a downstream. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated to caspase-12. Caspase-12 is activated by ER stress, including disruption of ER calcium homeostasis. Caspase-12 is co-localized to the ER with several proteins that are involved in Alzheimer's disease including g-secretase presenilin and b-amyloid precursor protein (APP). Caspase-12 mediates ER stress-induced apoptosis as well as cytotoxicity induced by amyloid-b. Caspase-12 is ubiquitously expressed in mouse tissues."
