CASP3 (caspase 3) is a cysteine protease belonging to the caspase protein family, and is related to interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE). It is the human homologue of Caenorhabditis elegans Ced-3 protein. This protein forms a key element of apoptosis.
Especificidad
Detects recombinant human precursor caspase 3 and the 18 kDa form produced during apoptosis.
Inmunógeno
recombinant 18 kDa subunit, amino acids 29-175, of human caspase 3.
Acciones bioquímicas o fisiológicas
CASP3 (caspase 3) is an essential protein of apoptosis, which includes multiple death-inducing signals, and caspase 3 functions at the last steps of programmed cell death. This protein is shown to be expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and its down-regulation is related to increased malignancy and reduced overall survival. Its expression in metastatic lymph nodes (LN) might serve as a marker for poor survival prognosis in patients with resected ESCC and metastasis to LN. Studies in multiple cancers such as, gastric, colorectal, ovarian and cervical cancers show that aberrant expression of this gene is linked with cancer progression and aggressive behavior. It might have potential as a marker to determine the prognosis of the above cancers.
Forma física
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

Nanoparticle-based therapeutics are being clinically translated for treating cancer. Even when thought to be biocompatible, nanoparticles are being increasingly identified as altering cell regulation and homeostasis. Antioxidant pathways are important for maintaining cell redox homeostasis and play important roles by

To assess whether differential expression of caspase-3 in paired metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) is prognostic of survival in patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Capases-3 expression was evaluated immunohistochemically in 122 pairs of primary ESCCs and regional metastatic

Emerging evidence has indicated that apoptotic cells have a compensatory effect on the proliferation of neighboring cells. Recent studies have shown that apoptotic tumor cells stimulate the repopulation of tumors from a small number of surviving cells by cleaved caspase-3
The present study explored the expression of tetraspanin 1 (TSPAN1) in esophageal carcinoma (EC) and its association with clinicopathological factors. TSPAN1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was designed to target the TSPAN1 gene in Eca-109 cells in order to explore the
The high atomic number of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) enables them to offer potential as practical and efficient radiosensitizing agents for cancer radiotherapy applications. In the present study, it was demonstrated that GNPs can significantly modulate the irradiation response of hepatocellular
