Description: Caspase-4 is also know as Ich-4 or TX. It belongs to the Caspase-family of cysteine proteases. Caspase-4 is an enzyme that proteolytically cleaves other proteins at an aspartic acid residue. Like other Caspases, Caspase-4 exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. It is matured by proteolysis. The active Caspase-4 is a heterotetramer contain two large and two small subunits. The recombinant active human Caspase-4 was expressed in E. coli. The function of Caspase 4 is believed to be an inflammatory caspase, together with Caspase-1, Caspase-5, with a role in the immune system.
