caspase-9 p10 (I18) Antibody-Delta Biolabs

Product Info
Background	The activation of the initiator caspase, caspase-9, is regulated by the apoptosome, which is composed of cytochrome c bound to Apaf-1 and dATP (1&2). The apoptosome responds to a diverse array of apoptotic stimuli that initiate the caspase cascade that ultimately results in cell death. The cascade of events starts with the proteolytic cleavage of caspase-9, that then cleaves downstream caspases, caspase-3, -6, and ?7 (1). The apoptotic initiating activity of caspase-9 can be regulated by XIAP, X-linked inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein; through the binding of caspase-9 at it amino terminus while it is bound to the apoptosome (3 & 4). This inhibition of caspase-9 activity has been shown to be relieved by Smac/DIABLO through its interaction with XIAP (3).
Origin	caspase-9 p10 (I18) is provided as an affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody, raised against a peptide mapping to an internal domain of human caspase-9 p10 subunit.
