Also known as: Casp11
Summary: Enables scaffold protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; positive regulation of signal transduction; and response to bacterium. Predicted to act upstream of or within ectopic germ cell programmed cell death; positive regulation of cytokine production; and pyroptotic inflammatory response. Located in neuronal cell body. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to several human genes including CASP4 (caspase 4). [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.
