Caspase-4 Proteins and Enzymes

Caspase-11 (also known as as Caspase-4) is a cysteine-aspartic acid protease that functions in apoptosis initiation and the activation of proinflammatory cytokines. Pro-Caspase-11 is expressed as a zymogen which is cleaved into two subunits, p20 and p10. It is activated by an autocatalytic mechanism or by Caspase-8 mediated cleavage in response to ...
