Procaspase 3 Substrate (Ac-ESMD-AFC) contains the target sequence for the proteolytic production of the p17 subunit of caspase 3 from its precursor (procaspase). Ac-ESMD-CHO inhibits this activity. Ac-ESMD-AFC may be used in comparison with other procaspase substrate and inhibitor peptides to differentiate proteolytic activity used for procaspase processing.
The aim of the present study was to determine whether or not apoptosis occurs in Sertoli cells in presence of 25-hydroxycholesterol, an oxysterol derived from cholesterol-containing foods or endogenous oxidation. Here, we provide evidence that 25-hydroxycholesterol can induce cultured Sertoli
Many protein substrates of caspases are cleaved at noncanonical sites in comparison to the recognition motifs reported for the three caspase subgroups. To provide insight into the specificity and aid in the design of drugs to control cell death, crystal

The apoptotic cysteine protease, caspase-3, is expressed in cells as an inactive 32-kDa precursor from which 17 kDa (p17) and 12 kDa (p12) subunits of the mature caspase-3 are proteolytically generated during apoptosis. Two amino acid sequences, ESMD downward arrowS
