Human Caspase-7 ELISA kit (ab274396) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Caspase-7 protein in cell and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Caspase-7 with 41 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Notes
Human Caspase-7 is a cytoplasmic cysteine protease involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for execution of apoptosis. Caspase-7 cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Caspase-7 cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Caspase-7 overexpression promotes programmed cell death. Caspase-7 is expressed as an inactive pro-form (pro caspase-7). In apoptosis, the pro caspase-7 is activated by proteolytic cleavages at Asp23-Ala24, Asp198-Ser199 and Asp206-Ala207 bonds catalyzed by granzyme B and caspase-10, generating two subunits p20 and p11 that are assembled into hetero-tetrameric active enzyme. This kit does not differentiate between the inactive and active forms Caspase-7; it measures Caspase-7 whether in pro form or cleaved form.

Function
Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a "216-Asp--Gly-217" bond. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death.Tissue specificity
Highly expressed in lung, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, spleen and heart, and moderately in testis. No expression in the brain.Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.Post-translationalmodifications
Cleavages by granzyme B or caspase-10 generate the two active subunits. Propeptide domains can also be cleaved efficiently by caspase-3. Active heterodimers between the small subunit of caspase-7 and the large subunit of caspase-3, and vice versa, also occur.Cellular localization
