Validation:

Independent Antibody Validation in Cell lines (Figure 1) shows similar Caspase 9 expression profile in human cell lines detected by two independent anti-Caspase 9 antibodies that recognize different epitopes, 2071 against N-terminus domain and 2073 against central domain.  Caspase 9 proteins are detected in the most tested cell lines at different expression levels by the two independent antibodies.

Isoform: Human Caspase 9 has 4 isoforms, including isoform 1 (416aa, 46kD) , isoform 2 (266aa, 30kD) , isoform 3 (154aa, 17kD) , and isoform 4 (333aa, 37kD) . Mouse Caspase 9 has one isoform (454aa, 50kD) and rat Caspase 9 also has one isoform (454aa, 50kD) . 2071 can detect human, mouse and rat.

BACKGROUND: Caspase-9 Antibody: Apoptosis is related to many diseases and 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. A novel member in the caspase family was recently identified and designated ICE-LAP6, Mch6, and Apaf-3. Caspase-9 and Apaf-1 bind to each other, which leads to caspase-9 activation. Caspase-9 is also activated by granzyme B and CPP32. Activated caspase-9 cleaves and activates caspase-3 that is one of the key proteases, being responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins in apoptosis. Caspase-9 play a central role in cell death induced by a wide variety of apoptosis activators including TNFα, TRAIL, anti-CD-95, FADD, and TRADD. Caspase-9 is expressed in a variety of human tissues.
