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 composed of a prodomain, a large protease subunit, and a small protease subunit. Activation of caspases requires proteolytic processing at conserved internal aspartic residues to generate a heterodimeric enzyme consisting of the large and small subunits. This protein is involved in the programmed cell death induced by Fas and various apoptotic stimuli. The N-terminal FADD-like death effector domain of this protein suggests that it may interact with Fas-interacting protein FADD. This protein was detected in the insoluble fraction of the affected brain region from Huntington disease patients but not in those from normal controls, which implicated the role in neurodegenerative diseases. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described, although not all variants have had their full-length sequences determined.

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.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) includes different segments in its 5' UTR and lacks a 5' coding region segment, compared to variant G. This results in translation at a downstream start codon, and the encoded protein (isoform 2) has a shorter N-terminus when it is compared to isoform 7.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) includes a different segment in the 5' UTR and lacks an alternate in-frame segment in the coding region, compared to variant 7. Variants 3 and 6 both encode isoform 3, which is shorter than isoform 7. Isoform 3 has also been labelled as Alpha-2 or MCH5-beta.

RNA

  1. NR_111983.2 RNA Sequence

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (8) has an alternate splice site in the central region, compared to variant 7. This variant is represented as non-coding because use of the 5'-most expected translation start codon, as used in variant 7, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

Suppressed Reference Sequence(s)

The following Reference Sequences have been suppressed. Explain

  1. NM_033357.2: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_033357.2: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because it is a nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) candidate.
  2. NM_033358.4: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_033358.4: This RefSeq was removed because currently there is insufficient support for the transcript and the protein.
