Konjugation:
Unconjugated
Alternative Synonym:
Apaf-1 Isoform 6, APAF1 Isoform 6,
APAF-1-ALT harbors the caspase recruitment domain and an incomplete CED-4 like/ATPase domain, but lacks the WD-40 repeat units. The LNCaP cell expressed the full-length APAF-1 weakly and APAF-1-ALT rather abundantly, especially after mycoplasma infection. LNCaP underwent a retarded DNA damage-induced apoptosis, which was independent of caspase 9 activity. APAF-1-ALT functioned less effectively in inducing apoptosis than did APAF-1-XL, the full-length APAF-1, in transient transfection. Moreover, APAF-1-ALT interfered with APAF-1-XLs ability to induce apoptosis in transient double transfection experiment. These results indicate that APAF-1-ALT is a molecule that is deficient and impeded for mediating apoptosis and that it may contribute to the resistance to DNA damage-induced treatment observed in LNCaP.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
