Target Details for Caspase 6

Target: Caspase 6 (CASP6) (Caspase 6, Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Peptidase (CASP6))

Alternative Name: Caspase-6 (CASP6 Products)

Background: Caspase family of cysteine proteases has been shown to play a key role in apoptosis. Similar to other caspases, caspase-6 is also synthesized as an inactive pro-enzyme that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis. Together with caspase-3, caspase-6 is one of the major caspases in apoptotic cells, and functions downstream of apoptosis inhibitors Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Caspase-6 has also been shown involving in the proteolysis of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and nuclear lamin A.Synonyms: Apoptotic protease Mch-2, CASP-6, CASP6, MCH-2, MCH2
