* Information From OMIM

Description: Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is associated with the hierarchical activation of a number of cysteine proteinases with cleavage preference after asparagine residues, comprising the caspase family C14 of clan CD (Barrett and Rawlings, 2001). Based on their position within this proteolytic cascade, caspases are subdivided into initiator caspases, which include caspase-8 (OMIM:601763) and caspase-9 (OMIM:602234), and executioner caspases, which include caspase-3 (OMIM:600636, also called CPP32), caspase-6 (OMIM:601532, also called MCH2), and caspase-7, as well as a third group of caspases involved in cytokine activation, namely, caspase-1 (OMIM:147678, also called ICE), caspase-4 (OMIM:602664), and caspase-5 (OMIM:602665). In apoptosis, the upstream caspases triggered by cofactor-mediated transactivation activate the downstream executioner caspases by limited proteolysis. These executioners, in turn, cleave distinct intracellular proteins involved in promoting the apoptotic phenotype.
