HOMOLOGY

interspecies

ortholog to CASP5, pan troglodytes

Homologene

FAMILY

caspase family of cysteinyl-aspartate specific proteases

CATEGORY

enzyme , tumor suppressor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria,inner
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
text	stored in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and released into cytosol after appropriate apoptotic stimuli

basic FUNCTION	caspase 5, cysteine containing aspartate-specific protease, inducing apoptosis in fibroblast, lacking convertase activity
	potentially involved in procytokine activation
	may be a suppressor gene of highly metastatic potential in lung cancer
	having pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory activities
	changes of CASP2 and CASP5 activities could be indicative of their involvement in the cervical malignancy mechanisms
	CASP5 and the inflammasome may have an important role in the inflammatory response in psoriasis
	concerted endoproteolytic activity of CASP5 and CASP10
	may work predominantly in concert with caspase-1 in modulating human retinal pigment epithelial inflammatory responses (
	both CASP4 and CASP5 are functionally important for appropriate responses to intracellular Gram-negative bacteria
	mainly participates in cell growth, apoptosis and other physiological process

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	cleaves and activates MAX after FXS mediated dephosphorylation (
	cleaves Periphilin (
	NACHT, LRR and PYD containing protein 1, NALP1 (
	CASP4 and caspase-5 mediate IL1A and IL1B release from human monocytes after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation
	CASP4, CASP5, and SCAF11 directly bind endotoxin (LOS/LPS) and can be activated in the absence of any co-factors
	IL17A promoted CASP5 function via facilitation of the NLRP1-inflammasome
