About CASP6

Primary_assembly 2: 218,466,076-218,478,502 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026975.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 268 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 16 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 132.6), Liver (RPKM 128.) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including acute inflammatory response to non-antigenic stimulus; axonal fasciculation; and positive regulation of programmed cell death. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cytosol; and neuronal cell body. Used to study status epilepticus. Biomarker of brain ischemia; endometritis; middle cerebral artery infarction; and prostate carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ovarian carcinoma. Orthologous to human CASP6 (Caspase 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
