Induces apoptosis by promoting the oligomerization of Apaf-1 into the mature, functional apoptosome, triggering caspase-9 activation resulting in activated caspase-3. Shows strong selectivity for cancer cells against normal cell lines. Acts in a similar way like apoptosis inducer PETCM (Prod. No. ALX-420-031).
