Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 840
Gene name Caspase 7
Gene symbol CASP7
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CASP-7CMH-1ICE-LAP3LICE2MCH3
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10q25.3
Summary This gene encodes 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 which undergo proteolytic processing
