Homo sapiens | c-Rel is a negative regulator of caspase-4, e.g. in EBV lymphoblastoid cells | down |
Homo sapiens | c-Rel as well as other endoplasmic reticulum stress genes directly modulate expression of caspase-4 | additional information |
Homo sapiens | apoptosis-independent cell death is accompanied by increased expression of the inflammatory marker, caspase-4. Caspase-4 is upregulated in Pt1 cells and induced by interferons | up |
General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | caspase-4 is a member of the caspase family and a member of the interleukin-1beta coverting enzyme subfamily | Homo sapiens |
additional information | elevated caspase activity in Pt1 cells is an outcome of increased caspase-4 activation | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | caspase-4 is a member of the inflammatory family of caspases involved in the regulation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, autophagy and cell survival. Cell death is occurring through a caspase-independent mechanism | Homo sapiens |
