About This Section 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 eitheractivating 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 ofapoptosis, necrosis and inflammation. These enzymes can be divided into two major classes - initiators andeffectors. 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. Effectorcaspases (-3,-6,-7) are responsible for cleaving downstream substrates and are sometimes referred to as theexecutioner caspases. More than 400 caspase substrates have so far been identified (see The CaspaseSubstrate Database). Initiator caspases, such as caspase 8, may be directly activated by death receptorssuch as FasR. Caspases can also be found intracellularly as part of large multiprotein complexes. Forexample, caspase 9 is recruited to the apoptosome formed during apoptosis, whilst caspases-1 and 5 can formpart of the inflammasome, a key part of cytokine processing during inflammation. Caspases are regulated byinhibitors of apoptosis and by dominant negative isoforms. They have been implicated in the pathogenesis ofmany disorders including stroke, Alzheimer's disease, myocardial infarction, cancer, and inflammatorydisease. Gene Wiki entry for CASP2 (Caspase 2)
