Anti-CASP10 (Caspase-10, CASP-10, ICE-like Apoptotic Protease 4, Apoptotic Protease Mch-4, FAS-assoc

Caspase-10 is a 28-29kD member of the peptidase C14A family of enzymes. It is widely expressed, being found in blood and epithelial cells. Caspase-10 appears to be an initiator caspase that acts on procaspases-3, 4, 6, 7, and 9. Human procaspase-10a is a 59kD, 521aa protein. It contains two N-terminal death domains. Cleavage generates p43 plus the small mature p12 subunit. Cleavage of p43 generates a prodomain p25 and large mature p17 subunit. P17 and p12 noncovalently associate to form a 29kD mature heterodimer. There are at least four isoform variants. There is no apparent mouse Casp-10 gene.
