Rabbit Polyclonal to Caspase 1/Interleukin-1 Converting Enzyme (ICE)Caspase 1/ICE (Interleukin-1 a Converting Enzyme) is expressed as a proenzyme of 45 kD in many tissues. Upon stimulus it gets activated by proteolytic cleavage. Active Caspase 1 is a tetramer of two subunits p10 and p20 in 2;2 proportion. Caspase 1 (Cystein Aspartic-Specific Protease 1) cleaves its substrates after an aspartate residue. It cleaves Interleukina into its active form which further exerts its proinflammatory effects. Overexpression of Caspase 1 can induce apoptosis in fibroblast which can be inhibited by overexpression of Crm A, a protein from pox virus.
