anti-Asc, pAb (AL177) (preservative free)

Product description: Polyclonal Antibody. Recognizes human and mouse Asc. Source: Rabbit. Applications: FUNC, ICC, IHC, IP, WB. Liquid. In PBS containing 10% glycerol. Asc promotes caspase-mediated apoptosis. This proapoptotic activity is mediated predominantly through the activation of caspase-9. It is a component of the inflammasome, a protein complex which also includes NLRP3/NALP3, CARD8 and CASP1 and whose function is the activation of proinflammatory caspases.

Alternate Names/Synonyms: Pycard; Target of Methylation-induced Silencing 1; TMS1; Caspase Recruitment Domain-containing Protein 5; Apoptosis-associated Speck-like Protein Containing CARD; CARD5
