Background:
ASC Antibody: Apoptosis is regulated by death domain (DD) and/or caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing molecules and a caspase family of proteases. CARD containing cell death regulators include RAIDD, RICK, BCL10, Apaf-1, ARC, caspase-9, and caspase-2. A novel CARD domain containing protein was recently identified in human and mouse and designated ASC and TMS1. Ectopic expression of ASC/TMS1 induced apoptosis through activation of caspase-9 and inhibited the survival of human breast cancer cells (3, 4). Overexpression of ASC/TMS1 induced DNA fragmentation. ASC/TMS1 is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues.

DISCLAIMER:
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The information provided is a guideline for product use. This product is for research use only.
Homology:
Predicted species reactivity based on immunogen sequence: Mouse (57%), Rat (57%)
Immunogen:
Anti-ASC antibody (2287) was raised against a peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human ASC.

The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of ASC.
ISOFORMS:
Human ASC has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (195aa, 22kD), isoform 2 (176aa, 20kD), and isoform 3 (135aa, 15kD). Mouse ASC has one isoform (193aa, 22kD) and rat ASC also has one isoform (193aa, 22kD). 2287 can detect all human isoforms.

VALIDATION:

Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 2) shows similar ASC expression profile in human and mouse cell lines detected by two independent anti-ASC antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 2287 against C-terminus domain and 39-001 against full length human recombinant protein.  ASC proteins are detected in some of tested cell lines at different expression levels by the two independent antibodies.
