InnateDB Gene

IDBG-185032 (Apaf1)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Oligomeric Apaf-1 mediates the cytochrome c-dependent autocatalytic activation of pro-caspase 9 (Apaf-3), leading to the activation of caspase-3 and apoptosis. This activation requires ATP (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in lung and spleen, weakly in brain and kidney and not detectable in liver.
