Caspase-7 apoptosis-related cysteine peptidase also known as CASP7 is a human protein encoded by the CASP7 gene.CASP7 orthologs have been identified in nearly all mammals for which complete genome data are available. Unique orthologs are also present in birds lizards lissamphibians and teleosts.Caspase-7 is a member of the caspase (cysteine aspartate protease) family of proteins and has been shown to be an executioner protein of apoptosis.
