Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 839
Gene name Caspase 6
Gene symbol CASP6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CSP-6MCH2caspase-6
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q25
Summary This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family of enzymes. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic
