    basic FUNCTION
  • recruited to the CD99 and p55 tumor necrosis factor receptor signaling complexes and promoting CD95 (APO1/Fas) apoptosis
  • CASP8 and CASP10 may be involved in the pathogenesis of rectal cancer
  • involved in the extrinsic death receptor pathway
  • prodeath role for both cleaved and uncleaved CASP10
  • may play a critical role in PTK7-knockdown-induced apoptosis, downstream of mitochondria
  • concerted endoproteolytic activity of CASP5 and CASP10
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text
  • can serve as an initiator caspase in Fas signaling leading to Bid processing, caspase cascade activation, and apoptosis

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • activating CASP3 and CASP7
  • ABCF1, AKAP1, CPE, DOPEY1 and GOPC may be targeted specifically by the initiator CASP8 and CASP10 during the early stages of apoptosis
  • RIOK3 interacted with caspase-10 (interaction was mediated by the RIO domain of RIOK3 and each death effector domain of CASP10)
  • CASP10 negatively regulates CASP8-mediated cell death
  • CASP8 is required upstream of both CFLAR and CASP10 and death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation critically depends on the scaffold function of CASP8
