Purity > 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. MW: 20.6kDa. Partial: 29-175aa. N-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Homo sapiens (Human). Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. At the onset of apoptosis it proteolytically cleaves poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory elent binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the mbrane attachment domain. Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9. Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin. Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage.
