Caspase 14
Caspase-14 (CASP-14) (EC 3.4.22.-) [Cleaved into: Caspase-14 subunit p17, mature form; Caspase-14 subunit p10, mature form; Caspase-14 subunit p20, intermediate form; Caspase-14 subunit p8, intermediate form]
SynonymshCG_38589
DescriptionFUNCTION: Non-apoptotic caspase involved in epidermal differentiation. Is the predominant caspase in epidermal stratum corneum . Seems to play a role in keratinocyte differentiation and is required for cornification. Regulates maturation of the epidermis by proteolytically processing filaggrin (By similarity). In vitro has a preference for the substrate [WY]-X-X-D motif and is active on the synthetic caspase substrate WEHD-ACF . Involved in processing of prosaposin in the epidermis (By similarity). May be involved in retinal pigment epithelium cell barrier function . Involved in DNA degradation in differentiated keratinocytes probably by cleaving DFFA/ICAD leading to liberation of DFFB/CAD . .
