Results show that two Casp6 variants, Casp6-G66R and Casp6-R65W, have less self-processing and exogenous proteolytic activity than Casp6-WT and reveal a novel regulatory area of Casp6 activity. Furthermore, the existence of these Casp6 variants suggests that full Casp6 activity may be dispensable in humans. | Rare human Caspase-6-R65W and Caspase-6-G66R variants identify a novel regulatory region of Caspase-6 activity.
