CASP3 (Caspase3 Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Protease), also known as YAMA, CPP32 or APOPAIN, is a caspase protein that interacts with caspase 8 and caspase 9. It is encoded by the CASP3 gene. The CASP3 protein is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Tiso et al. (1996) used radiation hybrid mapping to localize the CPP32 gene to human chromosome 4q33-q35.1. Fernandes-Alnemri et al. (1994) found that overexpression of CPP32 in insect cells induced apoptosis. Coexpression of the 2 CPP32 subunits in insect cells also resulted in apoptosis. Tewari et al. (1995) showed that purified human ICE cleaved the Yama proenzyme into a proteolytically active form and that activated Yama cleaved PARP into the 85-kD apoptotic form.
