Abstract excerpt
Caspase-12, mainly detected in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), has been suggested to play a role in ER-mediated apoptosis and inflammatory caspase activation pathway. Cleavage of the prodomain by caspase-3/-7 at the carboxyl terminus of Asp94 or m-calpain at the carboxyl terminus of Lys158 was reported to be a part of caspase-12-involved apoptosis. We biochemically characterized the prodomain-free forms of caspase-12...
