XB-GENEPAGE-988967
Gene Symbol:
apaf1

Gene Name:
apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1

Synonyms:
apaf-1 ( Add synonyms , Nomenclature history )

Gene Function:
apoptosis/apoptosome scaffold protein with WD-40 domains, caspase recruitment domain (CARD), and an ATPase domain

Protein 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.
