Caspase 9

A long pro-domain caspase that contains a CASPASE RECRUITMENT DOMAIN in its pro-domain region. Caspase 9 is activated during cell stress by mitochondria-derived proapoptotic factors and by CARD SIGNALING ADAPTOR PROTEINS such as APOPTOTIC PROTEASE-ACTIVATING FACTOR 1. It activates APOPTOSIS by cleaving and activating EFFECTOR CASPASES.

Also Known As:

Apoptotic Protease Activating Factor 3; Caspase-9; ICE-LAP6 Protein; ICE-Like Apoptotic Protease 6; Pro-Caspase-9; Procaspase-9; ICE LAP6 Protein; ICE Like Apoptotic Protease 6; Pro Caspase 9; Procaspase 9
