Protein : CASP9

SwissProt Accessions | Entrez Gene links

Connectivity 639
Notes This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce 2 subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein is processed by caspase APAF1; this step is thought to be one of the earliest in the caspase activation cascade. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants which encode different isoforms.

State caspase 9 isoform alpha preproprotein
caspase 9 isoform beta preproprotein

State Description Transcript Variant: This variant (alpha) includes an internal coding region absent in variant beta, and encodes the full-length isoform (alpha).
Transcript Variant: This variant (beta) lacks an internal coding region present in variant alpha. It uses the same reading frame, however, encodes an isoform (beta) that is missing an internal 150 aa segment as compared to the full-length isoform alpha...
