Buffer
PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
Apoptosis is related to many diseases and development.Caspase-9 plays a central role in cell death induced by a variety of apoptosis activators.Cytochrome c, after released from mitochondria, binds to Apaf-1, which forms an apoptosome that in turn binds to and activate procaspase-9.Activated caspase-9 cleaves and activates the effector caspases (caspase-3, -6 and -7), which are responsible for the proteolytic cleavage of many key proteins in apoptosis.The tumor suppressor putative HLA-DR-associated proteins (PHAPs) were recently identified as important regulators of mitochondrion apoptosis.PHAP appears to facilitate apoptosome-medicated caspase-9 activation and to stimulate the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.PHAP was also shown to oppose both Ras- and Myc-medicated cell transformation.
