Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (Caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell Apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes composed of a prodomain and a large and small protease subunit. Activation of caspases requires proteolytic processing at conserved internal aspartic residues to generate a heterodimeric Enzyme consisting of the large and small subunits. This Caspase is able to cleave and activate its own precursor protein, as well as Caspase 1 precursor. When overexpressed, this gene induces cell Apoptosis. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
