Mouse monoclonal [B4 - G2] to Caspase 7The caspase family of cysteine proteases plays a key role in apoptosis. Caspase 7, also known as Mch3a, ICE/LAP3 and CMH1, is a 34 kDa protein that is activated during Fas- and TNF-induced apoptosis. Caspase 7 has been identified as a major contributor to the execution phase of cellular apoptosis. It cleaves essential cellular machinery following its own cleavage from an inactive proenzyme to an active heterodimeric form. Caspase 7 is processed by caspase 3, 6, 8, 9, and 10 as well as by Granzyme B. |
