Description
Predicted to have cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signaling pathway; cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in execution phase of apoptosis; and death effector domain binding activity. Involved in induction by virus of host apoptotic process and regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process. Predicted to localize to cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including axis; germ ring; heart; intestinal bulb; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 2B; breast cancer; hepatocellular carcinoma; pancreatic cancer; and primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human CASP8 (caspase 8).
