Relevance
Caspase 2 is involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival. During apoptosis, procaspase-2 is processed at aspartate residues. The processed form of caspase-2 consists of large (19 kDa) and small (12 kDa) subunits which associate to form the active enzyme. -
