TAIR Computational Description | metacaspase 2;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a type I metacaspase. Two Arabidopsis metacaspases, AT1G02170 (MC1) and AT4G25110 (MC2) antagonistically control programmed cell death in Arabidopsis. MC1 is a positive regulator of cell death and requires conserved caspase-like putative catalytic residues for its function. MC2 negatively regulates cell death. This function is independent of the putative catalytic residues. A third type I Arabidopsis metacaspase is MC3 (AT5g64240). |
