APAF1 encodes a cytoplasmic protein that initiates apoptosis. Apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 contains several copies of the WD-40 domain, a caspase recruitment domain (CARD), and an ATPase domain (NB-ARC). Upon binding cytochrome c and dATP, this protein forms an oligomeric apoptosome. The apoptosome binds and cleaves caspase 9 preproprotein, releasing its mature, activated form. Activated caspase 9 stimulates the subsequent caspase cascade that commits the cell to apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.蛋白別名為：APAF1; KIAA0413; Apoptotic protease-activating factor 1; APAF-1;基因ID為：317；蛋白質ID:O14727
應用類型
WB，IHC-p，ELISA補充：最優的抗體稀釋比例需要基于客戶實驗進行優化.建議的起始稀釋比例如下: WB: 1:500-1:2000, IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, ELISA: 1:20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
