Biological background
Biological context: Cytokine. Inhibits inflammatory cytokine production. Synergizes with IL2 in regulating interferon-gamma synthesis. May be critical in regulating inflammatory and immune responses.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Secreted., tissue context: Widely expressed, including in adult and fetal brain, placenta, skin fibroblasts, adipose tissue and gonads..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare Casp9 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of Casp9 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify Casp9-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: Caspase-9 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CASP9 gene. This gene is part of a family of caspases, aspartate-specific cysteine proteases well studied for their involvement in immune and apoptosis signaling. This protein, the initiator caspase, is activated after cytochrome c release from mitochondria and targets downstream effectors. In mouse, deficiency of this gene can cause perinatal lethality. This protein may have a role in normal brain development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Cellular localization: Secreted.
- Tissue details: Widely expressed, including in adult and fetal brain, placenta, skin fibroblasts, adipose tissue and gonads.
- Research category: Cytokines,Immunology,Innate Immunity,Interleukins
