Precautions | Caspase-2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | Casp2 |
---|---|
Synonyms | Ich1, Nedd-2, Nedd2 |
Function | Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival (PubMed:7958843). Associates with PIDD1 and CRADD to form the PIDDosome, a complex that activates CASP2 and triggers apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | High level expression seen in the embryonic CNS, liver, lung, kidney, small intestine, and hair follicles of vibrissae Moderate expression seen in the skin, oral mucosa, skeletal muscle, submandibular gland and thymus. In the adult, it is highly expressed in spleen, lung and kidney. Moderately in the brain, heart, testis, liver Low levels in the thymus, skeletal muscle, ovary and gut |

Background
Caspases play a key role in apoptosis. Similar as other caspases, caspase-2 is also synthesized as an inactive pro-enzyme that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis. Caspase-2 mRNA is alternatively spliced. The larger mRNA species encoding a product of 435 amino acids is known as ICH-1L. The smaller mRNA species encoding a protein of 312 amino acids is named ICH-1S. Over expression of ICH-1L induces apoptosis, while over expression of ICH-1S suppresses Rat-1 cell death induced by serum deprivation.
