Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Binding of caspase-9 to Apaf- 1 leads to activation of the protease which then cleaves and activates caspase-3. Promotes DNA damage-induced apoptosis in a ABL1/c-Abl-dependent manner. Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP- ribose) polymerase (PARP).Isoform 2 lacks activity is an dominant-negative inhibitor of caspase-9.

Subcellular Localization

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous, with highest expression in the heart, moderate expression in liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. Low levels in all other tissues. Within the heart, specifically expressed in myocytes. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16857965}.
