Function

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Binding of caspase-9 to Apaf-1 leads to activation of the protease which then cleaves and activates caspase-3. Promotes DNA damage-induced apoptosis in a ABL1/c-Abl-dependent manner. Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).; Isoform 2 lacks activity is an dominant-negative inhibitor of caspase-9.

Additionnal Information

Immunoblotting: use at 1ug/mL. These are recommended concentrations. Enduser should determine optimal concentrations for their application. Positive control: Whole cell lysate from HeLa cells.

Storage Conditions

Target Background

Cell death signals are transduced by death domain-containing adapter molecules and members of the caspase family of proteases. Caspase-9 and Apaf-1 bind to each other, which leads to caspase-9 activation. Caspase-9 is also activated by granzyme B and CPP32. Activated caspase-9 cleaves and activates caspase-3, a protease responsible for proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins involved in apoptosis. Caspase-9 plays a central role in cell death induced by a wide variety of apoptosis inducers including TNF , TRAIL, anti-CD95, FADD, and TRADD. Caspase-9 is expressed in a variety of human tissues.
