Target
-
Function
Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves caspase-1. -
Tissue specificity
Widely expressed, with highest levels in spleen and lung. Moderate expression in heart and liver, low expression in skeletal muscle, kidney and testis. Not found in the brain. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
Contains 1 CARD domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an autocatalytic mechanism or by cleavage by Caspase-8. - Information by UniProt
