MeSH Heading: Caspase 1
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.656.262.500.126.550.100; D08.811.277.656.300.200.126.550.100; D12.776.476.075.405.550.100
Unique ID: D020170
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020170
Scope Note: A long pro-domain caspase that has specificity for the precursor form of INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. It plays a role in INFLAMMATION by catalytically converting the inactive forms of CYTOKINES such as interleukin-1beta to their active, secreted form. Caspase 1 is referred as interleukin-1beta converting enzyme and is frequently abbreviated ICE.
