Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - CASP6 is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. - It is a key regulator of apoptosis, and its activity is critical for the initiation and execution of this process. - CASP6 is also involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression and differentiation. **Pathways and functions:** - CASP6 is involved in the apoptotic pathway, a multi-step process that leads to cell death. - It is one of the first proteins to be activated during apoptosis, and its activation triggers a cascade of events that leads to the activation of other caspases. - CASP6 also plays a role in the regulation of cell cycle progression and differentiation. - It is involved in the regulation of epithelial cell migration and differentiation. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in CASP6 have been linked to a number of human diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. - Caspase inhibitors are being developed as cancer drugs, and CASP6 is a promising target for these drugs. **Additional notes:** - CASP6 is a highly conserved protein, with similar sequences found in organisms from yeast to humans. - It is a member of the caspase family of proteinases, which are responsible for the activation of other caspases. - CASP6 is a relatively new protein, and there is still much that is unknown about its function.
