Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

|---|---|
| Other Names | Caspase-2 Antibody: ICH1, NEDD2, CASP-2, NEDD-2, PPP1R57, ICH1, Caspase-2, Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 2, caspase 2, apoptosis-related cysteine peptidase |
| Target/Specificity | Caspase-2 antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid synthetic peptide from the amino-terminus of human Caspase-2. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of Caspase-2. |
| Reconstitution & Storage | Caspase-2 antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. |
| Precautions | Caspase-2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | CASP2 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | ICH1, NEDD2 |
| Function | Is a regulator of the cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution (PubMed:11156409, PubMed:15073321, PubMed:8087842). Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival (PubMed:15073321). Associates with PIDD1 and CRADD to form the PIDDosome, a complex that activates CASP2 and triggers apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress (PubMed:15073321). |
| Tissue Location | Expressed at higher levels in the embryonic lung, liver and kidney than in the heart and brain. In adults, higher level expression is seen in the placenta, lung, kidney, and pancreas than in the heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle |

Background
Caspase-2 Antibody: Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that can be divided into the apoptotic and inflammatory caspase subfamilies. Unlike the apoptotic caspases, members of the inflammatory subfamily are generally not involved in cell death but are associated with the immune response to microbial pathogens. Members of this subfamily include caspase-1, -4, -5, and -12 and can activate proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18. Although phylogenetically similar to this subfamily, Caspase-2 is thought to be involved in stress-induced apoptosis. Caspase-2 has two major isoforms; overexpression on the long form results in apoptosis while that of the short form suppresses cell death.
