Gene: [07q35/CASP2] caspase 2 (NEDD2 apoptosis regulatory gene); protease ICH-1 (isoforms L and S); neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 2; holoprosencephaly?;

COM

The CASP2/NEDD2 gene was mapped to Chr 7q34-q35 by FISH (Kumar-1995). This location was refined as Chr 7q35 using radiation hybrid mapping (Tiso-1996)."

FUN

Acts as a positive regulator of programmed cell death.

FUN

The biologic activity of CASP2 in the positive regulation of programmed cell death clearly makes it a candidate for tumor suppressor function (Kumar-1995). Overexpression of CASP2/Nedd2 in cultured mammalian cells induces apoptosis that can be blocked by BCL2 (GEM:18q2133/BCL2); see Kumar-1994."

EXP

L (long) and S (short) forms are produced by alternative splicing (Wang-1994).

FAG

About a negative regulator of programmed cell death see GEM:11q22/CASP4.

ASS

Tiso et al. observed that each of the 4 CASP family genes mapped colocalizes with an autosomal dominant malformative disease. They suggested holoprosencephaly as a candidate genetic disease (Tiso-1996) but this suggestion was not confirmed, see GEM:07q36/SHH."
