Customer Q&As

What is caspase-5?

A: Caspase-5, also known as ICE-protease-1 or ICH-2, is an enzyme that belongs to the caspase family of proteases.

Where is caspase-5 primarily expressed?

A: Caspase-5 is primarily expressed in the immune cells, specifically monocytes and macrophages.

What is the function of caspase-5?

A: Caspase-5 plays a role in the inflammatory response and activation of the immune system.

What is the role of caspase-5 in apoptosis?

A: Caspase-5 serves as an important mediator in the innate immune response against bacterial infections, by triggering the inflammatory pathway of apoptosis.

How is caspase-5 activated?

A: Caspase-5 is activated during the detection of cytosolic bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). When bacterial infection occurs, certain immune cells recognize the presence of LPS in the cytoplasm. This triggers the formation of a complex called the inflammasome, which includes caspase-5.
