一般描述

The caspase-1 (CASP1) /interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) gene, with ten exons, is mapped to human chromosome 11q22.2. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal CARD (caspase activation and recruitment domain), a large P20 subunit and a small P10 subunit. CASP1 is distributed in leukocytes, monocytes and epithelial cells.
This gene encodes a protein which is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Sequential activation of caspases plays a central role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis. Caspases exist as inactive proenzymes which undergo proteolytic processing at conserved aspartic residues to produce 2 subunits, large and small, that dimerize to form the active enzyme. This gene was identified by its ability to proteolytically cleave and activate the inactive precursor of interleukin-1, a cytokine involved in the processes such as inflammation, septic shock, and wound healing. This gene has been shown to induce cell apoptosis and may function in various developmental stages. Studies of a similar gene in mouse suggest a role in the pathogenesis of Huntington disease. Alternative splicing of this gene results in five transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. (provided by RefSeq)

生化/生理作用

Caspase-1 has an ability to transform pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) and IL-18 into their active forms. In addition, it also participates in pyroptosis. Elevated expression of the gene has been observed in the aorta of coronary atherosclerosis patients. CASP1 helps in host cell survival by inducing membrane biogenesis to restore the impairment caused by pore-forming toxins.
