Anti-Caspase-6 (P18) /CASP6 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Caspase 6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the caspase 6 gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Using radiation hybrid mapping, the Caspase 6 gene is localized to human chromosome 4q25-q26. Caspase 6 functions as a downstream enzyme in the caspase activation cascade. And Caspase 6 can cleave lamin A to its signature apoptotic fragment.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of rat Caspase-6 (P18), different from the related mouse sequence by two amino acids.
