Anti-Caspase-9 Antibody (A283426)

Anti-Caspase-9 Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Caspase-9.

This antibody recognises caspase-9, a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease family. The active form of caspase-9 is generated by cleavage of the pro-caspase-9 protein into fragments, known as the large and small fragments. The trigger for caspase-9 cleavage is the formation of the apoptosome (comprising of cytochrome c, APAF-1, dATP and pro-caspase-9), upon stimulation of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway.The rabbit anti caspase-9 antibody was raised against an internal peptide that is present in one of the small fragments (p10) generated in the pro-caspase-9 cleavage process at Asp330. The antibody will therefore detect pro-caspase-9 (as the motif is present) and the p10 caspase-9 fragment. The antibody can therefore be used to distinguish the p10 caspase-9 fragment from other pro-caspase-9 cleavage products.
