Summary: Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; death receptor binding activity; and tumor necrosis factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process; response to estradiol; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in cell body. Part of CD95 death-inducing signaling complex. Used to study pre-malignant neoplasm. Biomarker of several diseases, including heart disease (multiple); kidney disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); sciatic neuropathy; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 2B; breast cancer; endocrine gland cancer (multiple); esophagus adenocarcinoma; and lung cancer. Orthologous to human CASP8 (caspase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
