About Casp2

Chromosome 6: 42,241,919-42,259,442 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000999.3

This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues, 11 paralogues and is associated with 16 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thymus adult (RPKM 27.3), limb E14.5 (RPKM 22.2) and 27 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes the evolutionarily ancient and most conserved member of the cysteine proteases that plays important role in stress-induced Apoptosis, DNA repair and tumor suppression. Mice lacking the encoded protein develop normally but display cell type-specific apoptotic defects. Germ cells and oocytes from such mice were found to be resistant to cell death after treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
