Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity Cleaved Caspase-9 (Asp315) Antibody detects endogenous levels of the 35 kDa large fragment of caspase-9 following cleavage at aspartic acid 315. This antibody does not react with full length caspase-9 or any other cleaved caspases. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp315 of human caspase-9. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Caspase-9 (ICE-LAP6, Mch6) is an important member of the cysteine aspartic acid protease (caspase) family (1,2). Upon apoptotic stimulation, cytochrome c released from mitochondria associates with the 47 kDa procaspase-9/Apaf-1. Apaf-1 mediated activation of caspase-9 involves intrinsic proteolytic processing, resulting in cleavage at Asp315 and producing a p35 subunit. Another cleavage occurs at Asp330, producing a p37 subunit that can serve to amplify the apoptotic response (3-6). Cleaved caspase-9 further processes other caspase members, including caspase-3 and caspase-7, to initiate a caspase cascade, which leads to apoptosis (7-10).
