Rabbit polyclonal to Caspase 6The caspase family of cysteine proteases has been shown to play a key role in apoptosis. Caspase 6 is one of the major executioner caspases functioning in cellular apoptotic processes. Similar as other caspases, Caspase 6 is also synthesized as an inactive pro-enzyme that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis. Together with Caspase 3, Caspase 6 is one of the major caspases in apoptotic cells, and functions downstream of apoptosis inhibitors Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Caspase 6 has also been shown involving in the proteolysis of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and nuclear lamin A.
