background:
Caspase-13 (also designated Evolutionarily related interleukin-1beta converting enzyme ; ERICE) involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival. [subunit] Heterodimer of a small and a large subunit. The two subunits are derived from the precursor sequence by an autocatalytic mechanism or by cleavage by Caspase-8. Mainly expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes, spleen and placenta. Belongs to peptidase family C14.
Function:
Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Might function by either activating some proteins required for cell death or inactivating proteins necessary for cell survival.
Subunit:
Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a small and a large subunit (By similarity).
Tissue Specificity:
Mainly expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes, spleen and placenta.
Similarity:
Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
Contains 1 CARD domain.

Caspase-13 (也称 Evolutionarily related interleukin-1beta convertingenzyme; ERICE) 参与活化Caspase级联反应，实施调亡。
它既能激活某些蛋白质,细胞死亡所必需的蛋白质；又能使某些蛋白质失活以使细胞能够存活。它的异原二聚体构成大、小两种亚单位，这两种亚单位来源于前体序列由一个自动催化机制而形成或由Caspase-8剪切而成。
Caspase-13主要表达于外周淋巴细胞、脾脏和胎盘。属于肽酶家族C14成员.
