A member of the caspase family, a group of cysteine proteases that play a crucial role in programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis.
Caspase-6 has been found to be overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer. However, its expression levels and activity can vary depending on the type of cancer and the stage of disease progression.
Inhibitors of caspase-6 have been shown to have anti-tumor effects in preclinical studies, while activators of caspase-6 have been found to induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
