MeSH definition : A long pro-domain caspase that contains a caspase recruitment domain in its pro-domain
region. Caspase 12 is activated by pro-apoptotic factors that are released during
cell stress and by CARD SIGNALING ADAPTOR PROTEINS. It activates APOPTOSIS by cleaving
and activating EFFECTOR CASPASES.;
