Background InformationCaspase-1, also known as IL-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), is an enzyme that cleaves the inflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta and IL-18, releasing the mature, active peptides. Caspase-1 is important for defense against pathogens and it also is involved in the induction of apoptosis. Thymocytes from caspase-1 deficient mice are resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis, and caspase-1 is similar to the cell death gene CED-3 of C. elegans. Caspase-1 is a heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel heterodimers, each one formed by a 20 kDa (p20) and a 10 kDa (p10) subunit. The enzyme has a preferred cleavage site of Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp (YVAD). Caspase-1 is highly expressed in spleen and lung, and is absent from brain.
