Target Details for Caspase 4

Target: Caspase 4 (CASP4) (Caspase 4, Apoptosis-Related Cysteine Peptidase (CASP4))

Alternative Name: Caspase-4

Background: Caspase-4, a member of the Caspase-1 subfamily of cysteine proteases, exists as an inactive pro-enzyme which undergoes proteolytic cleavage of its p30 precursor form, into smaller p20 and p10 subunits. The cellular localisation of Caspase-4 on the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane, has resulted in this protein becoming a focus of studies in which dysfunction or stress to the ER membrane is implicated, such as Alzheimers disease and Ischemia (1, 3) and confirms the involvement of Caspase-4 as an instigator of cellular apoptosis.Synonyms: CASP4, ICE(rel)-II, ICH2, Protease ICH-2, Protease TX
