Description

3D AlphaFold model of human Caspase Xa. Caspases are a family of protease enzymes that play a crucial role in apoptosis , inflammation , and other cellular processes. They are involved in both programmed cell death (apoptosis) and non-apoptotic functions like cell differentiation, proliferation, and development. Caspases are activated in response to various stimuli and act as executioners in apoptosis, cleaving cellular proteins to initiate cell death.
