Caspase Activation Definition
Caspase Activation involves induction of the activity of intracellular cysteine endopeptidase family members kept inactive by mitochondrial surface proteins (BcL-2 Family) and involved in initial signaling and downstream proteolytic cleavages (at P1 aspartic acids) in inflammation and apoptotic cell death when signals block BcL-2 function and activators initiate caspase cascades.
