Caspase 2 Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Peptidase (CASP2) is a part of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. CASP2 takes part in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. CASP2 is also responsible for inactivating proteins essential for cell survival. The proteolytic cleavage of CASP2 is induced by a variety of apoptotic stimuli.
CASP2 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 126 amino acids (348-452) and having a molecular mass of 14.1kDa.CASP2 is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | CASP2: Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival. Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a p18 subunit and a p12 subunit. Interacts with LRDD. Expressed at higher levels in the embryonic lung, liver and kidney than in the heart and brain. In adults, higher level expression is seen in the placenta, lung, kidney, and pancreas than in the heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle. Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

| NCBI 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, cell cycle maintenance, and the suppression of tumorigenesis. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and temporal lobe epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011] |
