CC   -!- FUNCTION: Thiol protease involved in a variety of inflammatory
CC       processes by proteolytically cleaving other proteins, such as the
CC       precursors of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) and
CC       interleukin 18 (IL18) as well as the pyroptosis inducer Gasdermin-D
CC       (GSDMD), into active mature peptides. Plays a key role in cell immunity
CC       as an inflammatory response initiator: once activated through formation
CC       of an inflammasome complex, it initiates a pro-inflammatory response
CC       through the cleavage of the two inflammatory cytokines IL1B and IL18,
CC       releasing the mature cytokines which are involved in a variety of
CC       inflammatory processes. Cleaves a tetrapeptide after an Asp residue at
CC       position P1. Also initiates pyroptosis, a programmed lytic cell death
CC       pathway, through cleavage of GSDMD. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=Strict requirement for an Asp residue at position P1 and has a
CC         preferred cleavage sequence of Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-|-.; EC=3.4.22.36;
CC         Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466};
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged
CC       heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kDa (Caspase-1 subunit p20) and a
CC       10 kDa (Caspase-1 subunit p10) subunit. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: [Caspase-1 subunit p20]: Heterotetramer that consists of two
CC       anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kDa
CC       (Caspase-1 subunit p20) and a 10 kDa (Caspase-1 subunit p10) subunit.
CC       Can form a heterodimer with isoform epsilon which then has an
CC       inhibitory effect. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: [Caspase-1 subunit p10]: Heterotetramer that consists of two
CC       anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kDa
CC       (Caspase-1 subunit p20) and a 10 kDa (Caspase-1 subunit p10) subunit.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}. Cell
CC       membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}.
CC   -!- PTM: The two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an
CC       autocatalytic mechanism. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29466}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. {ECO:0000305}.
