| Function | Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs). Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a '216-Asp-|-Gly- 217' bond. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in lung, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, spleen and heart, and moderately in testis. No expression in the brain. |
| Top Pathways | Apoptosis, Alzheimer's disease, Pertussis, Legionellosis, TNF signaling pathway |
