About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for CASP6:
This gene encodes a protein which 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 which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and
small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein is processed by caspases 7, 8 and 10, and is thought to
function as a downstream enzyme in the caspase activation cascade. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two
transcript variants that encode different isoforms. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CASP6_HUMAN, P55212
Function: Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves poly(ADP-ribose)
polymerase in vitro, as well as lamins. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death

summary for CASP6:
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.
