Why there is a band around 25Kd of caspase3 in both undifferentiated and differentiated PC12 cells?

Dear all, When I detect the protein expression of caspase3 in PC12 cells, there is always a band around 25Kd. According to literature, the pro-caspase3 should be 35Kd and the cleaved caspase 3...

Is there a technique (aside from immuno-staining) to show that a protein of interest binds filamentous actin? I have not been able to co-IP?

I am confident and reasonably competent with both immuno-staining and co-IP. My immunofluorescent co-staining indicates that my protein of interest does bind the actin cytoskeleton. I have...
