Background of Caspase-9 antibody

Caspase 9 (also known as ICE-like apoptotic protease 6 (ICE-LAP6), apoptotic protease Mch-6, and apoptotic protease activating factor 3 (Apaf-3)) is a member of the peptidase family C14 that contains a CARD domain. This caspase is active as a heterotetramer and has been reported to have two isoforms. Pro-Caspase 9 has been reported to be approximately 47 kD. This caspase is present in the cytosol and, upon activation, translocates to the mitochondria. Caspase 9 is involved in the caspase activation cascade responsible for apoptosis execution and cleaves/activates Caspase 3 and Caspase 6. Caspase 9 is inhibited by the dominant negative isoform, Bcl-XL, c-IAP1, c-IAP2, XIAP, and Livin. This caspase becomes activated when recruited to Apaf-1/cytochrome c complex, and following cleavage by Apaf-1, granzyme B, Caspase 3, possibly Caspase 8 and Caspase 10 into large p37 and small p10 subunits. Caspase 9 interacts with BIRC7 and has been shown to cleave PARP and vimentin.  
Structure: Peptidase family C14, CARD domain. Heterotetramer, two isoforms, pro-Casp9 47 kD, active cleaved from Casp9 37 kD. 
Distribution:
 Cytoplasm, when activated mitochondrial.
Function: Involved in caspase activation cascade responsible for apoptosis execution; cleaves/activates Casp3, Casp6.  
Regulation: Inhibited by dominant negative isoform, Bcl-XL, c-IAP1, c-IAP2, XIAP, Livin. Activated when recruited to Apaf-1/cytochrome c complex, cleaved by Apaf-1, granzyme B, Casp3, possibly Casp8 and -10 into large p37 and small p10 subunits.
Interaction:
BIRC7; cleaves PARP, vimentin.
