Summary: Enables several functions, including death receptor binding activity; phospholipase A2 activator activity; and protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including luteolysis; nervous system development; and positive regulation of amyloid-beta formation. Located in neuronal cell body. Part of death-inducing signaling complex. Used to study artery disease (multiple); brain disease (multiple); and pre-malignant neoplasm. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); brain disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); heart disease (multiple); and pancreatitis (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; colon cancer; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human CASP3 (caspase 3).

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.
