PETCM is an activator of caspase-3 and a stimulator of apoptosome formation in HeLa cell cytosols. In addition, studies suggest that PETCM can reverse the inhibitory effects of putative HLA-DR-associated proteins (PHAP) on caspase-3 activation. Since caspase-3 activation is dependent on apoptosome formation, prothymosin alpha can inhibit the activation of caspase-3 by disrupting the formation of the apoptosome somewhere upstream in this regulatory pathway. Studies suggest that PETCM can eliminate the inhibitory effects of prothymosin alpha by acting as an antagonist and allwing PHAP to stimulate apoptosome formation at a physiological concentration of deoxyadenosine triphosphate.
