Target Details for Caspase 2

Target: Caspase 2 (CASP2) (Caspase 2, Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Peptidase (CASP2))

Alternative Name: CASP2

Background:

Synonyms: Caspase-2,CASP-2,3.4.22.55,Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 2,NEDD-2,Protease ICH-1,Caspase-2 subunit p18,Caspase-2 subunit p13,Caspase-2 subunit p12,CASP2,ICH1, NEDD2,

Tissue Specificity: Expressed at higher levels in the embryonic lung, liver and kidney than in the heart and brain. In adults, higher level expression is seen in the placenta, lung, kidney, and pancreas than in the heart, brain, liver and skeletal muscle.

Background: CASP2 is equal to Caspase-2. And Caspase-2, which is involved in stress-induced apoptosis, is recruited into a large protein complex, the molecular composition of which remains elusive. It is showed that activation of caspase-2 occurs in a complex that contains the death domain-containing protein PIDD, whose expression is induced by p53, and the adaptor protein RAIDD. Increased PIDD expression resulted in spontaneous activation of caspase-2 and sensitization to apoptosis by genotoxic stimuli. Caspase-2 acts both as a positive and negative cell death effector, depending upon cell lineage and stage of development.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
