Caspase-7 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the amino-terminus of human Caspase-7. The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of Caspase-7.
Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a 216-Asp-|-Gly-217 bond. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death.
