GeneID: 837 Human CASP4

Swiss-port # P49662 Human Caspase-4

Background 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]
Research Area Cancer antibody; Cell Biology and Cellular Response antibody; Cell Death antibody; Metabolism antibody
Calculated MW 43 kDa
PTM In response to activation signals, including endoplasmic reticulum stress or treatment with amyloid beta A4 protein fragments (such as beta-amyloid protein 40), undergoes autoproteolytic cleavage.
