Background Information
Caspases, a family of endoproteases, are critical players in cell regulatory networks controlling inflammation and cell death. Initiator caspases (caspase-2, -8, -9, -10, -11, and -12) cleave and activate downstream effector caspases (caspase-3, -6, and -7), which in turn execute apoptosis by cleaving targeted cellular proteins. Caspase 3 plays a key role in the activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain. Caspase 3 can form heterocomplex with other proteins. This antibody can recognize the cleaved Caspase 3 fragments. This antibody is specific for cleaved caspase 3, and does not recognize full length caspase-3. The cleaved fragment of Caspase 3 might form complex and shows at around 30-35 kDa by western blot (PMID: 25501826).

Reviews
What customers say
Users rate this antibody highly (average ~4.8/5 across 4 reviews). It performs well in Western Blot, IHC, and IF applications. One user noted it outperformed a comparable CTK antibody, yielding clear signal at 1:1000 dilution where the competitor required 1:250. Staining quality was described as "nice" for IHC/IF on glioblastoma cells at 1/200. WB was validated on mouse liver, HK-2, and MCF-231 cells at dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:10000. No negative feedback was reported.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Audrey (Verified Customer) (02-10-2026) | Works well, nice staining
|
Kamal (Verified Customer) (01-22-2026) | Liver lysates were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 25128-1-AP (Cleaved caspase polyclonal antibody) at dilution of 1:1000 in 1XTBST incubated overnight.
|
Antonijo (Verified Customer) (11-11-2025) | Previously, we used Cl. Casp3 (Asp175) from Cell Signaling Technology and had trouble getting a signal, and only at a dilution of 1:250 were we able to get a signal. Since we use Cl. Casp3 from Proteintech, we are able to get a signal at a dilution of 1:1000 and this antibody gives the quality result we need for our research on HK-2 cell line.
