Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  SAR analysis of small molecule inhibitors of Apaf-1 using a LZ-Caspase-9/Caspase-3 Fluorescent Selectivity assay - Set 2
Description:  Data Source: Sanford-Burnham Center for Chemical Genomics (SBCCG) Source Affiliation: Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBIMR, San Diego, CA) Network: NIH Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) Grant Number: R01 CA136513 Assay Provider: Dr. Xuejun Jiang, Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, New York, NY Apoptosis is a major form of programmed cell death that multicellular organisms utilize to maintain tissue homeostasis and to eliminate unwanted or damaged cells. It plays a critical role in development, immune responses and many other physiological events. In mammals, the mitochondrial cytochrome c-mediated apoptotic pathway is initiated by cytochrome c release from mitochondria. Deregulation of the cytochrome c apoptotic pathway can lead to diseases such as cancer, immune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. The overall goal of this project is to identify Apaf-1 inhibitors by high throughput screening. Apaf-1 is the essential mediato
