Product Notices

  1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
  2. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

Caspase 9 (ICE-LAP6, Mch-6, Apaf-3) is a member of a family of cysteine proteases which play a critical role in the induction of programmed cell death. Members of this family have been grouped according to sequence homology as being either ICE-like proteases (caspases 1, 4 and 5) or Ced-3- like proteases (caspases 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10a). Caspase-9 is produced as a 48 kD precursor (procaspase-9) which contains an N-terminal prodomain with high homology to caspase-2.  Procaspase-9 may be processed into subunits which heterodimerize to form the active enzyme. Activation of caspase-9 occurs in the presence of  cytochrome c (Apaf-2), following an interaction between caspase-9 and Apaf-1. Activation may also be triggered directly by the cytotoxic T-cell protease, granzyme B.  Active caspase-9 cleaves and thus activates caspase-3 and is also a relevant target of active caspase-3.  Caspase- 9 can also cleave the nuclear protein PARP. Northern blot analysis suggests that high expression of caspase-9 is found in the heart, testis and ovary.

Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
