Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Caspase 7 (active)Caspases are synthesized as inactive pro-enzymes that are processed to active form in cells undergoing apoptosis. Caspase 7 has been identified as a major contributor to the execution of apoptosis. Caspase 7 is cleaved by many enzymes, including caspase 3, 6, 8, 9 and granzyme B. Active caspase 7 consists of a heterotetramer of two large and two small subunits. As an effector caspase, caspase 7 cleaves many of the same substrates as caspase 3, including poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The active caspase 7 antibody provides a new tool for identifying apoptotic cell populations in both tissue sections and cultured cells.
