Product Overview
Clone GEA-3 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes caspase-3 (gene CASP3) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF and immunoprecipitation. The predicted molecular weight is 31.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 35 kDa.
Caspase-3 is the major executioner caspase of apoptosis. Activated by initiator caspases such as caspase-8 and caspase-9, it cleaves hundreds of cellular proteins, including PARP1, leading to the typical features of apoptotic cell death. Cleaved (active) caspase-3 is one of the most widely used apoptosis markers in Western blot and immunohistochemistry.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human HEL cells, human RT4 cells, human SH-SY5Y cells, rat lung tissue, rat RH35 cells, mouse lung tissue, mouse HEPA1–6 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1: 500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human kidney tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human caspase-3 p12.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places caspase-3 in the cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Highly expressed in lung, spleen, heart, liver and kidney. 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).
