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 at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. Overexpression of the active form of this enzyme induces apoptosis in fibroblasts. Max, a central component of the Myc/Max/Mad transcription regulation network important for cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, is cleaved by this protein; this process requires Fas-mediated dephosphorylation of Max. The expression of this gene is regulated by interferon-gamma and lipopolysaccharide. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

RNA

  1. NR_024239.3 RNA Sequence

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (e) is missing two internal coding exons compared to transcript variant a. This results in a frame-shift and premature translation termination, rendering the transcript susceptible to nonsense mediated mRNA decay (NMD). There is a publication (PMID:16893518) reporting the expression of this transcript, hence it is represented as a variant RefSeq, however, the predicted protein is not represented because it is significantly truncated.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (g) lacks three alternate internal exons, compared to variant a. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant a, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
