'''Apoptosis protease-activating factor-1''' (APAF-1) binds to cytochrome c and ATP to form the apoptosome which leads to the recruitment and activation of caspase 9 by cleaving the procaspase 9. Caspase 9 is involved in executing the apoptosis of cells<ref>PMID:15829969</ref>. | '''Apoptosis protease-activating factor-1''' or '''Apoptosis peptidase-activating factor-1''' (APAF-1) binds to cytochrome c and ATP to form the apoptosome which leads to the recruitment and activation of caspase 9 by cleaving the procaspase 9.
