Description | Specificity: Human Apaf-1. Large multi-protein complexes known as the DISC (death inducing signalling complex) and the apoptosome activate the normally inactive caspases through proteolytic processing (1). The formation of these complexes leads to the activation of caspases and the execution of apoptosis (1,2). The apoptosome is a large 700 or 1400 kDa protein complex comprised of Apaf-1 (apoptotic protease activating factor-1), cytochrome c, and dATP (1). Apaf-1 and cytochrome c in the presence of dATP leads to the oligomerization of Apaf-1 and the formation of either the 700 or 1400 kDa complexes (3&4). Once formed the apoptosome activates caspase-9, which in turn activates the effector caspases (1&5). Some researchers have found the 700 |
