Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 835
Gene name Caspase 2
Gene symbol CASP2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CASP-2ICH1MRT80NEDD-2NEDD2PPP1R57
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7q34
Summary This gene encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Caspases mediate cellular apoptosis through the proteolytic cleavage of specific protein substrates. The encoded protein may function in stress-induced cell death pathways

Protein name Caspase-2 (CASP-2) (EC 3.4.22.55) (Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 2) (NEDD-2) (Protease ICH-1) [Cleaved into: Caspase-2 subunit p18; Caspase-2 subunit p13; Caspase-2 subunit p12]
Protein function Is a regulator of the cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution (PubMed:11156409, PubMed:15073321, PubMed:8087842). Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for ce
