背景
Caspase-7 (CASP7) is a ~34 kDa protein. Thiol protease involved in different programmed cell death processes, such as apoptosis, pyroptosis or granzyme-mediated programmed cell death, by proteolytically cleaving target proteins. Has a marked preference for Asp-Glu-Val-Asp (DEVD) consensus sequences, with some plasticity for alternate non-canonical sequences. Its involvement in the different programmed cell death processes is probably determined by upstream proteases that activate CASP7. Acts as an effector caspase involved in the execution phase of apoptosis: following cleavage and activation by initiator caspases (CASP8, CASP9 and/or CASP10), mediates execution of apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage of proteins, such as CLSPN, PARP1, PTGES3 and YY1. Compared to CASP3, acts as a minor executioner caspase and cleaves a limited set of target proteins.
