Target Details for APAF1

Target: APAF1 (Apoptotic Peptidase Activating Factor 1 (APAF1))

Alternative Name: APAF1

Background: Programmed cell death (apoptosis) requires the activation of caspases, which are in turn regulated by adaptor proteins such as Apaf-1 (activator of apoptosis protease-activating factor-1). The 136 kDa protein Apaf-1 is a mammalian homolog of C. elegans/CED-4, and is required for some pathways of cell death. Apaf-1 promotes the aggregation and self-processing of the initiator caspase, caspase-9 in the presence of cytochrome c and dATP. It consists of four function-determining regions: (1) an N-terminal caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD), which is required for binding to pro-caspase-9, (2) a central CED-4 homologous region, (3) an Apaf-1 specific region, and (4) 12 identified WD40 repeats at the C-terminus of the protein.
