UniProt Protein Function: | CASP10: Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Recruited to both Fas- and TNFR-1 receptors in a FADD dependent manner. May participate in the granzyme B apoptotic pathways. Cleaves and activates caspase- 3, -4, -6, -7, -8, and -9. Hydrolyzes the small- molecule substrates, Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-|-AMC and Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-|-AMC. Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 23/17 kDa (p23/17) (depending on the splicing events) and a 12 kDa (p12) subunit. Self-associates. Interacts with FADD and CASP8. Found in a Fas signaling complex consisting of FAS, FADD, CASP8 and CASP10. Detectable in most tissues. Lowest expression is seen in brain, kidney, prostate, testis and colon. Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: EC 3.4.22.63; ProteaseChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q33-q34Cellular Component: cytoplasm; plasma membrane; CD95 death-inducing signaling complex; cytosolMolecular Function: protein binding; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; ubiquitin protein ligase bindingBiological Process: regulation of apoptosis; positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB cascade; apoptosis; innate immune response; proteolysisDisease: Lymphoma, Non-hodgkin, Familial; Gastric Cancer; Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome, Type Iia |

NCBI Summary: | 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 two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This protein cleaves and activates caspases 3 and 7, and the protein itself is processed by caspase 8. Mutations in this gene are associated with type IIA autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and gastric cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011] |
