Caspase-4 antibody
Rabbit anti caspase-4 (N-terminal) antibody
The cellular localization of Caspase-4 on the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane, has resulted in this protein becoming a focus of studies in which dysfunction or stress to the ER membrane is implicated, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Ischemia and confirms the involvement of Caspase-4 as an instigator of cellular apoptosis.
