Human Caspase-9 Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity
Human
Specificity
Detects human Caspase-9 precursor and the pro + large subunit (LSU) that migrates as a 37 kDa band on SDS-PAGE generated by cleavage at Asp330. Does not detect the pro + LSU that migrates as a 34 kDa band on SDS-PAGE generated by cleavage at Asp315. Therefore, the major epitope detected occurs between Asp315 and Asp330.
Source
Polyclonal Goat IgG
Purification
Antigen Affinity-purified
Immunogen
E. coli-derived recombinant human Caspase-9
Val139-Asp330

Scientific Data

Western Blot View Larger

Detection of Human Caspase‑9 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of HEK293T human embryonic kidney cell line and HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human Caspase‑9 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF8301) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for Caspase‑9 at approximately 46 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 2.

Background: Caspase-9

Caspase-9 (Cysteine-aspartic acid protease 9/Casp-9; also APAF-3, Mch6 and ICE-LAP6) is a 35-37 kDa member of the peptidase C14A family of enzymes. Casp-9 is an initiator caspase that is part of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. It is widely expressed and is particularly important during development. Human proCaspase-9 is a 47-48 kDa, 416 amino acid (aa) protein and it contains one CARD region (aa 1-92) and catalytic residues at His237 and Cys287. Following mitochondrial disruption, cytochrome c is released from mitochrondria. Cytochrome c acts on APAF-1, which induces procaspase-9 dimerization. The act of dimerization activates proCasp-9, leading to either the activation of Casp-3, or the autocleavage of proCasp-9, generating a 35 kDa subunit (aa 1-315) and a 12 kDa subunit. Activated Casp-3 will also act on proCasp-9, generating a 37 kDa subunit (aa 1-330) and a 10 kDa subunit (aa 331-416). These subunits associate to form an active heterotetramer. Casp-9 has an alternative start site at Met84 and a deletion of aa 140-289 that generates a dominant negative, 31 kDa isoform. Over aa 1-134, human Casp-9 shares 81% aa identity with mouse Casp-9; over aa 139-330, human Casp-9 shares 73% aa identity with mouse Casp-9.
