Background Information
Caspase 9 also name as MCH6, APAF3, APAF-3, ICE-LAP6 and CASPASE-9c, is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. It's synthesized as a 46kDa precursor protein which can be cleaved into a 35kDa subunit and a 11kDa subunit. The phosphorylated type can be detected at 55kDa and 35kDa. It plays a central role in the mitochondrial or intrinsic apoptotic pathway that is engaged in response to many apoptotic stimuli. Once activated, caspase-9 cleaves and activates the effector caspases 3 and 7 to bring about apoptosis. It can be phosphorylated by PKB/AKT1 at Ser196, this modification will downregulate its activity and decrease apoptosis. Akt phosphorylation site found in human caspase 9 is absent in mouse caspase 9.It's reported that there is an increase in caspase 9 expression and activity in the hypoxic brain. Inhibition of Caspase 9 activity would render opportunity to treat neurological diseases such as stroke, neurodegenerative diseases or brain injury caused by hypoxia. (PMID: 19788417, PMID: 10529400, PMID: 9812896, PMID: 18840507) In recent years, the localization of caspase9 was a focus of interest. Beside its cytoplasmic distribution, a very extensive localization study was done on rat brain tissue, where caspase9 was found located predominantly in the nucleus and to a lesser extend in the cytoplasm [PMID: 15541731].
