人 CASP2 (NM_001224) cDNA克隆

Accession: NM_001224
基因名称: CASP2
基因别名: ICH1; NEDD2; CASP-2; NEDD-2; PPP1R57
基因描述: Homo sapiens caspase 2, apoptosis-related cysteine peptidase (CASP2), transcript variant 2, mRNA.
种属: Human
CDS区长度: 939 (查看编码区序列)
翻译后氨基酸长度: 312 (查看氨基酸序列)
Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains an alternative 5' terminal exon (resulting in translation initiation from an in-frame downstream AUG), and an additional internal exon compared to variant 1. The latter causes a frame-shift, and early translation termination, rendering this transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). However, this variant is represented as protein-coding as the encoded short isoform (2, also known as ICH-1S) has been shown to be expressed in vivo (PMID:12598307), and to function as a negative regulator of apoptosis (PMID:8087842).

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]
