Caspases are cysteine proteases that cleave C-terminal aspartic acid residues on their substrate molecules. CASP12 is most highly related to members of the ICE subfamily of caspases that process inflammatory cytokines. In rodents, the homolog of CASP12 mediates apoptosis in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, in humans CASP12 contains a polymorphism for the presence or absence of a premature stop codon. The majority of human individuals have the premature stop codon and produce a truncated non-functional protein. The read-through codon occurs primarily in individuals of African descent and carriers have endotoxin hypo-responsiveness and an increased susceptibility to severe sepsis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for CASP12.蛋白别名为：CASP12; Inactive caspase-12; CASP-12;基因ID为：120329；蛋白质ID:Q6UXS9
应用类型
WB，IHC-p，ELISA补充：最优的抗体稀释比例需要基于客户实验进行优化.建议的起始稀释比例如下: WB: 1:500-1:2000, IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, ELISA: 1:40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
