Monikkocaspases

(biochemistry) Any of several intracellular proteolytic enzymes that mediate apoptosis and pyroptosis.

Structure of caspase-1 (CASP1), originally called interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), the first human caspase to be identified.

(biochemistry) Any of several intracellular proteolytic enzymes that mediate apoptosis and pyroptosis.

Inititator Pro-caspases have a prodomain that allows recruitment of other pro-caspases, which subsequently dimerise. Both pro-caspase molecules undergo cleavage by autocatalysis. This leads to removal of the prodomain and cleavage of the linker region between the large and small subunit. A heterotetramer is formed

(biochemistry) Any of several intracellular proteolytic enzymes that mediate apoptosis and pyroptosis.
