Rabbit polyclonal to Caspase 2LCaspase-2 (also designated Nedd-2/ICH-1) can be alternatively spliced to produce two distinct Caspase-2 mRNA species. One mRNA species encodes a protein of 435 amino acids in length and the mRNA splice variant encodes a 312 amino acid protein. The larger protein, Caspase-2L, in an over expressed state, leads to programmed cell death. Conversely the over expression of Caspase-2S protein, a truncated version of Caspase-2L, has been shown to suppress cell death induced by serum deprivation (5). |
