Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 842
Gene name Caspase 9
Gene symbol CASP9
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
APAF-3APAF3ICE-LAP6MCH6PPP1R56
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p36.21
Summary This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing

Protein name Caspase-9 (CASP-9) (EC 3.4.22.62) (Apoptotic protease Mch-6) (Apoptotic protease-activating factor 3) (APAF-3) (ICE-like apoptotic protease 6) (ICE-LAP6) [Cleaved into: Caspase-9 subunit p35; Caspase-9 subunit p10]
Protein 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 effector caspases caspase-3 (CASP3) or caspase-7 (CASP7). Pro
