Background

Caspase-5 (also know as ICErelIII, TY) is a member of the caspase-family of cysteine proteases. Similar to other caspases, caspase-5 exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme which is matured by proteolysis to yield large and small subunits. The active caspase-5 is a heterotetramer consisting of two large and two small subunits. To date the mechanism of caspase-5 activation and roles of caspase-5 in apoptosis are poorly understood.
