NCIt definition : Caspase-1 (404 aa, 45 kDa) is encoded by the human CASP1 gene. This protein is involved
in proteolysis and immunity.;
NCIt note : 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.;
