Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process and cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; negative regulation of necroptotic process; and proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hepatocyte apoptotic process; positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Part of Noc1p-Noc2p complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; gonad; hemolymphoid system; and limb bud. Used to study atopic dermatitis and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 2B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 2B; breast cancer; endocrine gland cancer (multiple); esophagus adenocarcinoma; and lung cancer. Orthologous to human CASP8 (caspase 8).
