Abstract
The present invention concerns the Caspase-8h gene and the Caspase-8i gene. The Caspase-8h gene encodes a 220 amino acid polypeptide having two FADD death effector domains. The Caspase-8i gene encodes an 81 amino acid polypeptide having one FADD death effector domain. The invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules encoding Caspase-8h or Caspase-8i, vectors containing these nucleic acid molecules, and cells harboring such vectors.
