Descriptor English: Apoptotic Protease-Activating Factor 1
Descriptor Spanish: Factor Apoptótico 1 Activador de Proteasas
Descriptor factor apoptósico 1 activador de proteasas
Entry term(s) factor 1 activador de las proteasas de la apoptosis
Scope note: Proteína adaptadora señalizadora de CARD caracterizada por un DOMINIO CARD N-terminal y REPETICIONES WD40 C-terminales. Desempeña un papel en la apoptosis estimulada por las mitocondrias (VÍA INTRÍNSECA DE LA APOPTOSIS) y se une al CITOCROMO C en el CITOSOL para formar un COMPLEJO PROTEICO APOPTOSÓMICO que activa las CASPASAS INICIADORAS, como la CASPASA 9.

Scope note: A CARD signaling adaptor protein characterized by an N-terminal CARD DOMAIN and C-terminal WD40 REPEATS. It plays a role in the mitochondria-stimulated apoptosis (APOPTOSIS, INTRINSIC PATHWAY) and binds to CYTOCHROME C in the CYTOSOL to form an APOPTOSOMAL PROTEIN COMPLEX which activates INITIATOR CASPASES such as CASPASE 9.
