Location

Chr: 1 Mapping Details/Browsers

Description

Exhibits peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of collateral sprouting in absence of injury. Predicted to localize to cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; colon cancer; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Is expressed in several structures, including axis; germ ring; gonad; gut; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CASP3 (caspase 3).
