Background Information
Caspase 9, apoptosis-related cysteine protease (CASP9, synonyms: MCH6, APAF3, APAF-3, ICE-LAP6, CASPASE-9c)is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) 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 2 subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. Caspase 9 is processed by APAF1; this step is thought to be one of the earliest in the caspase activation cascade. 10380-1-AP can recognize the pre- and cleaved- caspase 9. In recent years, the localization of caspase 9 was a focus of interest. Beside its cytoplasmic distribution, a very extensive localization study was done on rat brain tissue, where caspase 9 was found located predominantly in the nucleus and to a lesser extend in the cytoplasm [PMID: 15541731].
