CASP7 encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce two subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. The precursor of the encoded protein(caspase 7)is cleaved by caspase 3 and 10, is activated upon cell death stimuli and induces apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for CASP7. 蛋白别名为：CASP7; MCH3; Caspase-7; CASP-7; Apoptotic protease Mch-3; CMH-1; ICE-like apoptotic protease 3; ICE-LAP3;基因ID为：840；蛋白质ID:P55210
