Anti-Human Caspase-9

Apoptosis is related to many diseases and induced by a family of cell death receptors and their ligands. Cell death signals are transduced by death domain containing adapter molecules and members of the caspase family of proteases. A novel member in the caspase family was recently identified and designated ICE-LAP6, Mch6, and Apaf-3.1-3 Caspase-9 and Apaf-1 bind to each other, which leads to caspase-9 activation3 Caspase-9 is also activated by granzyme B and CPP32.1,2 Activated caspase-9 cleaves and activates caspase-3 that is one of the key proteases, being responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins in apoptosis.3 Caspase-9 play a central role in cell death induced by a wide variety of apoptosis activators including TNFα, TRAIL, anti-CD-95, FADD, and TRADD.4 Caspase-9 is expressed in a variety of human tissues.

• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Goat
• Reactivity: Human
• Conjugate: Antigen Affinity Purified
• Gene: 842

• Quantity: 25 µg
• Storage: The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
