About Casp7

Primary_assembly 1: 255,437,172-255,476,729 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026974.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 26 phenotypes. Biased expression in Liver (RPKM 47.5), Heart (RPKM 47.1) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables cysteine-type peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including aging; leukocyte apoptotic process; and striated muscle cell differentiation. Located in cytosol and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Biomarker of several diseases, including endometritis; sciatic neuropathy; transient cerebral ischemia; type 2 diabetes mellitus; and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; breast cancer; colon cancer; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CASP7 (Caspase 7).
