Rabbit Anti-Caspase-6
Caspase-6, CASP-6, 3.4.22.59;Apoptotic protease Mch-2, Caspase-6 subunit p18, Caspase-6 subunit p11, CASP6, MCH2
Caspase 6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CASP6 gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Using radiation hybrid mapping, the CASP6 gene is localized to human chromosome 4q25-q26. It functions as a downstream enzyme in the caspase activation cascade. And CASP6 can cleave lamin A to its signature apoptotic fragment.
