General description
Biochem/physiol Actions
Caspase 4 is an inflammatory caspase associated with innate immune responses.[2] It plays a key role in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis.[3] Caspase 4 mediates the fusion of phagosomes containing pathogens with the lysosome. It inhibits pathogen replication, development, and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Caspase 4 induces caspase activation and pyropoptotic death by binding to the intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane. This is mediated by the highly specific caspase recruitment domain (CARD).[2]
Useful in screening caspase inhibitors, studying enzyme kinetics and regulation, determining target substrates, as well as serving as positive controls in caspase activity assays and Western blot analysis.
