Mouse Anti-CASP2 (Caspase-2, CASP-2, ICH-1 Protease, Neural Precursor Cell Expressed Developmentally Down-regulated Protein 2, NEDD-2, Caspase-2 Subunit p18, Caspase-2 Subunit p13, Caspase-2 Subunit p12)
CASP2 is a protein which is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. The protein exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. The proteolytic cleavage of this protein is induced by a variety of apoptotic stimuli.
