Caspases mediate essential key proteolytic events in inflammatory cascades and the apoptotic cell death pathway. Caspase 12 is involved in the apoptosis triggered by a stress on the endoplasmic reticulum. Caspase-12 is co-localized to the ER with several proteins that are involved in Alzheimer’s disease including gamma-secretase presenilin and beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP). Caspase-12 mediates cytotoxicity induced by amyloid-beta. Caspase 12 activation results in cell death in the absence of the cytochrome c-dependent pathway. Recently caspase-12 has been suggested to affect signaling pathways linking some G-protein coupled receptors to alphaIIbbeta3 activation. Caspase-12 is ubiquitously expressed in mouse tissues.
Caspase-12 antibody can be used in ELISA, Western Blot, and immunohistochemistry starting at 10 ?g/mL.
