Application & Usage | The peptide is used for blocking the antibody activity of Caspase-2. It usually blocks the antibody activity completely in Western blot analysis by incubating the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 minutes at 37°C. |
Other Names | Caspase-2, CASP-2, 3.4.22.55, Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 2, NEDD-2, Protease ICH-1, Caspase-2 subunit p18, Caspase-2 subunit p13, Caspase-2 subunit p12, Casp2, Ich1, Nedd-2, Nedd2 |
Target/Specificity | Caspase-2 |
Formulation | 50 µg (0.2 mg/ml) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 0.1% BSA and 0.02% thimerosal. |
Reconstitution & Storage | -20 °C |

Name | Casp2 |

Synonyms | Ich1, Nedd-2, Nedd2 |
Function | Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival (PubMed:7958843). Associates with PIDD1 and CRADD to form the PIDDosome, a complex that activates CASP2 and triggers apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | High level expression seen in the embryonic CNS, liver, lung, kidney, small intestine, and hair follicles of vibrissae Moderate expression seen in the skin, oral mucosa, skeletal muscle, submandibular gland and thymus. In the adult, it is highly expressed in spleen, lung and kidney. Moderately in the brain, heart, testis, liver Low levels in the thymus, skeletal muscle, ovary and gut |
