摘要: The invention provides caspase-9-related peptides and polypeptides capable of binding to an Inhibitor Apoptosis Protein (IAP), as well caspase-9 mutant that fail undergo normal processing bind IAP. Nucleic acid molecules, including expression vectors, encoding such are also provided. Such polypeptides, useful for inducing apoptosis identifying inhibitors enhancer apoptosis.
