CASP6 Antibody (N-term) Blocking peptide

Peptides; Blocking Peptides

This gene encodes a protein which is a member of thecysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequentialactivation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phaseof cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes whichundergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues toproduce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form theactive enzyme. This protein is processed by caspases 7, 8 and 10, and is thought to function as a downstream enzyme in the caspaseactivation cascade. Alternative splicing of this gene results intwo transcript variants that encode different isoforms. [providedby RefSeq].
