Specificity
Apoptosis is related to many diseases and is induced by a family of cell death receptors and their ligands. Cell death signals are transduced by death domain containing adapter molecules and members of the caspase family of proteases. The mammalian homologues of the key cell death gene CED-4 in C. elegans has been identified recently from human and mouse and was designated Apaf1 (for apoptosis protease-activating factor 1; Zou et al. 1997; Cecconi et al. 1998). Apaf1 binds to cytochrome C (Apaf2) and caspase-9 (Apaf3), which leads to caspase-9 activation. Activated caspase-9 in turn cleaves and activates caspase-3 which is one of the key proteases, being responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins in apoptosis (Li et al. 1997). Apaf1 can also associate with caspase-4 and caspase-8 (Hu et al. 1998). Apaf1 is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues (Zou et al. 1997).
Immunogen
Epitope: C-terminus
Rabbit anti-Apaf1 (C-terminus) polyclonal antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 1158 to 1177 of human Apaf1 (Zou et al. 1997). The sequence of the immunogenic peptide differs from that of murine Apaf1 by one amino acid (Zou et al. 1997; Cecconi et al. 1998).
Application
Anti-Apaf-1 Antibody, C-terminus detects level of Apaf-1 & has been published & validated for use in WB.
