CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CASPASE-7 IN COMPLEX WITH ACETYL-ASP-GLU-VAL-ASP-CHO
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 10873833
Function
[CASP7_HUMAN] Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death.
