InnateDB Annotation
Summary
PMID 21419663
Casp8 restricts the RIG-I-mediated activation of Irf3 by catalytically cleaving Ripk1, and subsequently converting Ripk1 from a signalling enhancer to a signalling inhibitor.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
PMID 17213198
[Homo sapiens] CASP8 has an essential role in the regulation of NF-kappaB function in response to TLR4 stimulation, whereby CASP8 recruitment to IKBKB leads to delayed NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and impaired NF-kappaB transcriptional activity.
PMID 20019748
[Homo sapiens] CASP8 is involved in pro-apoptotic signalling through TLR3 and its activation is TICAM1 (TRIF)-dependent.

Entrez Gene
Summary This gene is part of a family of caspases, aspartate-specific cysteine proteases well studied for their involvement in immune and apoptosis signaling. This protein, an initiator of apoptotic cell death, is activated by death-inducing tumor necrosis family receptors and targets downstream effectors. In mouse deficiency of this gene can cause embryonic lethality. This protein may have a role in embryogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
