Cloning of a novel human caspase-9 splice variant containing only the CARD domain.

Abstract excerpt

Caspase-9 plays a key role in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway and currently two splice variants (caspase-9-alpha and -beta) have been identified. The present study cloned and characterized a novel caspase-9 splice variant, hereby designated Casp9-gamma. Casp9-gamma is generated from an additional alternative 3' splice site in the fourth exon of caspase-9, resulting in a 58-nucleotide fragment insertion compared...
