[mammalian CED3 homolog-6] The corresponding gene was cloned from Jurkat T-lymphocytes (Srinivasula et al, 1996). It is a member of a family of proteases involved in apoptosis (see: Caspases). The proenzyme is cleaved by CPP32. MCH6 is identical with ICE-LAP6. It has been suggested that MCH6 be renamed Caspase-9 (see: Caspases) (Alnemri et al, 1996).
