3.4.22.55 | malfunction | caspase-2 knockout mice do not develop early spontaneous tumors, but loss of caspase-2 in mice is associated with accelerated tumorigenesis driven by transgenic c-Myc on the mu-enhancer, thus caspase-2-deficient embryonic fibroblasts are more efficiently transformed than wild-type cells. Caspase-2-deficient mice have features consistent with accelerated ageing, phenotype, overview | Mus musculus |
3.4.22.55 | malfunction | decreased caspase-2 and RAIDD expression is observed in mantle cell lymphoma tumor samples. In addition, drug resistance in childhood forms of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is correlated with decreased levels of caspase-2. In contrast, increased levels of caspase-2 in acute myelogenous leukemia and adult ALL are associated with decreased patient survival. Possibly inactivation of caspase-2 in tumors occurs through disruption of the pathway through mutation or improper regulation of a protein that regulates caspase-2 activity | Homo sapiens |
3.4.22.55 | physiological function | role of caspase-2 in apoptosis, and caspase-2 may act as a tumor suppressor, mechanisms through which caspase-2 signals, e.g. involving PIDD, also known as LRDD or leucine-rich repeat and death domain-containing protein, caspase-2 pathways to apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, detailed overview. PIDD activation and more importantly caspase-2 activation is not always synonymous with induction of apoptosis, a threshold of caspase-2 activation must be reached before caspase-2-dependent apoptosis is engaged. Cleavage of Mdm2 is not the sole way caspase-2 can induce growth arrest | Mus musculus |
