Summary
Rat CASP12 binds to Human RIPK2 and displaces Human TRAF6 from a complex in human cells, inhibiting its ubiquitin ligase activity, and blunting NF-kappaB activation.
CASP12 deficiency enhances production of antimicrobial peptides, cytokines, and chemokines dependent on bacterial type III secretion and the Nod pathway.
Entrez Gene
Summary Caspases are cysteine proteases that cleave C-terminal aspartic acid residues on their substrate molecules. This gene is most highly related to members of the ICE subfamily of caspases that process inflammatory cytokines. In rodents, the homolog of this gene mediates apoptosis in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, in humans this gene contains a polymorphism for the presence or absence of a premature stop codon. The majority of human individuals have the premature stop codon and produce a truncated non-functional protein. The read-through codon occurs primarily in individuals of African descent and carriers have endotoxin hypo-responsiveness and an increased susceptibility to severe sepsis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
