Protein attributes

Sequence length	377 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves caspase-1 By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Strict requirement for Asp at the P1 position. It has a preferred cleavage sequence of Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-|- but also cleaves at Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-|-.
Subunit structure	Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a small and a large subunit By similarity.
Post-translational modification	The two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an autocatalytic mechanism or by cleavage by Caspase-8 By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. Contains 1 CARD domain.
