Entrez Gene summary for CASP2:
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)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CASP2_HUMAN, P42575
Function: 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

summary for CASP2:
Caspases (short for 'cysteinyl aspartate proteases') are involved in the signal transduction pathways of
apoptosis, necrosis and inflammation. These enzymes can be divided into two major classes - initiators and
effectors. The initiator isoforms (caspases-1,-4,-5,-8,-9,-10,-11,-12) are activated by, and interact with,
upstream adaptor molecules through protein-protein interaction domains known as CARD and DED. Effector
caspases (-3,-6,-7) are responsible for cleaving downstream substrates and are sometimes referred to as the
executioner caspases. More than 400 caspase substrates have so far been identified (see The Caspase
Substrate Database). Initiator caspases, such as caspase 8, may be directly activated by death receptors
such as FasR. Caspases can also be found intracellularly as part of large multiprotein complexes. For
example, caspase 9 is recruited to the apoptosome formed during apoptosis, whilst caspases-1 and 5 can form
part of the inflammasome, a key part of cytokine processing during inflammation. Caspases are regulated by
inhibitors of apoptosis and by dominant negative isoforms. They have been implicated in the pathogenesis of
many disorders including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, myocardial infarction, cancer, and inflammatory
disease.
