Caspase-2 (phospho Ser157) Polyclonal Antibody Sizes: 50μL, 100μL Catalogue Numbers: RA22731-50, RA22731-100 Citations, Manuals and MSDS Available upon request. Background: caspase 2 (CASP2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Caspases mediate cellular apoptosis through the proteolytic cleavage of specific protein substrates. The encoded protein may function in stress-induced cell death pathways, cell cycle maintenance, and the suppression of tumorigenesis. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
