Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (gene Pycard) in mouse samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 21.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 22 kDa.
ASC (PYCARD) is an adaptor protein with a pyrin domain and a CARD. When sensors such as NLRP3, AIM2 or NLRC4 are triggered, ASC polymerizes into a large "speck" that recruits and activates caspase-1, leading to IL-1β and IL-18 maturation and pyroptosis, so it is a standard readout of inflammasome activation.

Immunogen
Recombinant mouse ASC/TMS1/Pycard fragment (Lys24–Ser193), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse. UniProt places apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD in the cytoplasm, inflammasome, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrion. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Expressed in small intestine, colon, thymus, spleen, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung and liver. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
