| |
| Use/Stability: | After initial defrost, aliquot product into individual tubes and refreeze at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/defrost cycles. |
| |
| Scientific Background: | Caspase-7 acts as an effector caspase in apoptosis and has substrate preferences similar to caspase-3. It displays an affinity for ADP-ribose polymers and automodification of PARP-1 (ADP-ribosylation) makes it a better caspase-7 substrate. |
| |
| Regulatory Status: | RUO - Research Use Only |
