Apaf-1-ALT Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-Apaf-1-ALT Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

APAF1 encodes a cytoplasmic protein that initiates apoptosis. This protein (apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1) contains several copies of the WD-40 domain, a caspase recruitment domain (CARD), and an ATPase domain (NB-ARC) . Upon binding cytochrome c and dATP, this protein forms an oligomeric apoptosome. The apoptosome binds and cleaves caspase 9 preproprotein, releasing its mature, activated form. Activated caspase 9 stimulates the subsequent caspase cascade that commits the cell to apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
