IUBMB Comments

From mammalian monocytes. This enzyme is part of the family of inflammatory caspases, which also includes caspase-4 (EC 3.4.22.57) and caspase-5 (EC 3.4.22.58) in humans and caspase-11 (EC 3.4.22.64), caspase-12, caspase-13 and caspase-14 in mice. Contains a caspase-recruitment domain (CARD) in its N-terminal prodomain, which plays a role in procaspase activation [6,7]. Cleaves pro-interleukin-1β (pro-IL-1β) to form mature IL-1β, a potent mediator of inflammation. Also activates the proinflammatory cytokine, IL-18, which is also known as interferon-γ-inducing factor . Inhibited by Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-CHO. Caspase-11 plays a critical role in the activation of caspase-1 in mice, whereas caspase-4 enhances its activation in humans . Belongs in peptidase family C14.
