Descriptor caspasa 6
Entry term(s) CASP6
Scope note: Caspasa de prodominio corto que desempeña una función efectora en la APOPTOSIS. Es activada por CASPASAS INICIADORAS, como la CASPASA 7, CASPASA 8 y CASPASA 10. Existen diversas isoformas de esta proteína debido a las múltiples alternativas de corte y empalme de su ARN MENSAJERO.

Scope note: A short pro-domain caspase that plays an effector role in APOPTOSIS. It is activated by INITIATOR CASPASES such as CASPASE 7; CASPASE 8; and CASPASE 10. Isoforms of this protein exist due to multiple alternative splicing of its MESSENGER RNA.
