About Casp2

Primary_assembly 4: 71,149,669-71,167,379 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026977.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 215 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 234.6), Spleen (RPKM 136.1) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; identical protein binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including aging; animal organ development; and positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Located in membrane and mitochondrion. Biomarker of status epilepticus. Orthologous to human CASP2 (Caspase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
