SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES
Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY
Expressed in larger amounts in spleen and lung. Detected in liver, heart, small intestine, colon, thymus, prostate, skeletal muscle, peripheral blood leukocytes, kidney and testis. No expression in the brain.
POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION
The two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an autocatalytic mechanism.

Cytoplasm
FUNCTION
Caspase 1 is produced as a?zymogen?that is cleaved into 20 kDa (p20) and 10 kDa (p10) subunits that become part of the active enzyme. Active caspase 1 contains two?heterodimers?of p20 and p10. It interacts with another?CARD domain?containing protein called?PYCARD?(or ASC) and is involved in?inflammasome?formation and activation of?inflammatory?processes. Caspase 1 has been shown to induce cell?necrosis?or?pyroptosis?and may function in various developmental stages. Studies of a similar protein in mouse suggest a role in the pathogenesis of?Huntington's disease.?Alternative splicing?of the gene results in five transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.?Recent studies implicated caspase 1 in promoting CD4 T-cell death and inflammation by HIV, two signature events that fuel HIV disease progression to AIDS.
