About Casp7

Chromosome 19: 56,385,561-56,430,776 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001012.3

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues, 11 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype.

Summary

Enables aspartic-type endopeptidase activity and cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including execution phase of apoptosis; neuron apoptotic process; and response to UV. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain; foregut; sensory organ; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; breast cancer; colon cancer; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CASP7 (Caspase 7).
