Caspase-9 is an initiator caspase,[1] encoded by the CASP9 gene.
CASP9 orthologs [2] have been identified in all mammals for which complete genome data are available. Unique orthologs are also present in lizards, lissamphibians, and teleosts.
The aspartic acid specific protease caspase-9 has been linked to the mitochondrial death pathway. It is activated during programmed cell death (apoptosis). Induction of stress signaling pathways JNK/SAPK causes release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and activation of apaf-1 (apoptosome), which in turn cleaves the pro-enzyme of caspase-9 into the active form.
Once initiated caspase-9 goes on to cleave procaspase-3 & procaspase-7, which cleave several cellular targets, including poly ADP ribose polymerase.
Interactions
Caspase-9 has been shown to interact with NLRP1,[3][4] XIAP,[5][6][7][8] Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 3,[7] BIRC2,[7] APAF1[3][9][10][11][12] and Caspase 8.[13][14]
