Summary: Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress and self proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response and fibroblast apoptotic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human CASP12 (caspase 12 (gene/pseudogene)).

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.
