Product type:  Primary Antibody
Clonality:         Polyclonal
Source:             Rabbit
Immunogen:    Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues around 305 of human caspase-9 with C terminal added cysteine residue conjugated to KLH
Description: Caspase-9 is an initiator caspase, encoded by the CASP9 gene. It has been linked to the mitochondrial death pathway. They mainly regulate programmed cell death (apoptosis) signaling. Caspase 9 is activated during apoptosis. It is activated by the apoptosome complex and initiates apoptosis via the mitochondrial route. Anti-Caspase 9 specifically recognizes the pro-form and the active cleaved form of human Caspase 9, but cross-reactivity has also been observed in rats.
Purification: Purified against peptide affinity chromatography.
Specificity: This antibody detects cleaved fragment of caspase-9 around ~35 KDa in Hek293 and RAW cell line. The antibody may also detect 45 KDa procaspase 9 while using fresh cell line.
