Description: Caspase-9 is also known as MCH6 or APAF3. The CASP9 gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein can undergo autoproteolytic processing and activation by the apoptosome, a protein complex ofCytochrome Cand the Apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1. This step is thought to be one of the earliest in the caspase activation cascade. This protein is thought to play a central role in apoptosis and to be a tumor suppressor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Immunogen: Human partial recombinant protein (AA 3-228) was used as the immunogen for this Caspase-9 antibody.
Storage: The lyophilized Caspase-9 antibody can be stored at 4oC. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
