| Gene Full Name | caspase 14 |
| Background | Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that can be divided into apoptotic and inflammatory caspase subfamilies. Unlike the apoptotic caspases, members of the inflammatory subfamily are generally not involved in cell death but are associated with the immune response to microbial pathogens. Members of this subfamily include caspase-1, -4, -5, and -12 and can activate proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1b and IL-18. Caspase-14 is highly expressed in embryonic but not adult tissues. It is processed and activated by caspase 8 and caspase 10 in vitro, and by anti-Fas agonist antibody or TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand in vivo. The expression and processing of this caspase may be involved in the keratinocyte terminal differentiation, which is important for the formation of the skin barrier. |
| Function | Non-apoptotic caspase which is involved in epidermal differentiation. Seems to play a role in keratinocyte differentiation and is required for cornification (PubMed:18156206). Regulates maturation of the epidermis by proteolytically processing filaggrin (PubMed:21654840). In vitro is equally active on the synthetic caspase substrates WEHD-ACF and IETD-AFC. Involved in processing of prosaposin in the epidermis (PubMed:24872419). May be involved in retinal pigment epithelium cell barrier function (By similarity). [UniProt] |

| Calculated MW | 28 kDa |
| PTM | Maturation by proteolytic processing appears to be a two-step process. The precursor is processed by KLK7 to yield the p20/p8 intermediate form which acts on the precursor to yield the p17/p10 mature form (PubMed:22825846). Initially, cleavage between Ile-152 and Lys-153 has been proposed to yield the large and small subunits of the active enzyme (PubMed:12200134). |
