Apoptosis and Pharmacological Therapies for Targeting Thereof for Cancer Therapeutics
Apoptosis is an evolutionarily conserved sequential process of cell death to maintain a homeostatic balance between cell formation and cell death. It is a vital process for normal eukaryotic development as it contributes to the renewal of cells and ...

Caspase-2: the orphan caspase [PDF]
Despite an abundance of literature on the role of caspase-2 in apoptosis, there exists much controversy about this protease making it difficult to place caspase-2 correctly in the apoptotic cascade, and hence its role in apoptosis remains unclear. The identification of the PIDDosome as a signaling platform for caspase-2 activation prompted intense ...

Caspases are the key effector molecules of the physiological death process known as apoptosis, although some are involved in activation of cytokines, rather than cell death. They exist in most of our cells as inactive precursors (zymogens) that kill the cell once activated. Caspases can be controlled in two ways.

The relatively common occurrence of sequences within proteins that match the consensus substrate specificity of caspases in intracellular proteins suggests a multitude of substrates in vivo - somewhere in the order of several hundred in humans alone. Indeed, the list of proteins that are reported to be cleaved by caspases in vitro proliferates rapidly.
