MeSH definition : A short pro-domain caspase that plays an effector role in APOPTOSIS. It is activated
by INITIATOR CASPASES such as CASPASE 9. Isoforms of this protein exist due to multiple
alternative splicing of its MESSENGER RNA.;
MeSH synonym : casp3; apopain; Caspase-3;
MeSH hyponym : Procaspase-3; Procaspase 3; Pro-Caspase-3; Pro Caspase 3;
