MeSH definition : A long pro-domain caspase that contains a death effector domain in its pro-domain
region. Caspase 8 plays a role in APOPTOSIS by cleaving and activating EFFECTOR CASPASES.
Activation of this enzyme can occur via the interaction of its N-terminal death effector
domain with DEATH DOMAIN RECEPTOR SIGNALING ADAPTOR PROTEINS.;
