Name

APAF1 Gene

apoptotic peptidase activating factor 1

This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein that initiates apoptosis. This protein contains several copies of the WD-40 domain, a caspase recruitment domain (CARD), and an ATPase domain (NB-ARC). Upon binding cytochrome c and dATP, this protein forms an oligomeric apoptosome. The apoptosome binds and cleaves caspase 9 preproprotein, releasing its mature, activated form. Activated caspase 9 stimulates the subsequent caspase cascade that commits the cell to apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in several transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

LOC100128086 Gene

APAF1 interacting protein pseudogene

APIP Gene

APAF1 interacting protein

Enables identical protein binding activity; methylthioribulose 1-phosphate dehydratase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including L-methionine salvage from methylthioadenosine; protein homotetramerization; and pyroptotic inflammatory response. Located in cytoplasm.
