An important part of apoptosis (programmed cell death), necrosis, and inflammation is played by the cysteine protease family known as caspase. Apoptotic caspases come in two varieties: effector (executioner) caspases and initiator (apical) caspases. Effector caspases are activated when initiator caspases, such as CASP2, CASP8, CASP9, and CASP10, cleave their inactive pro-forms. In order to start the apoptotic process, effector caspases (such as CASP3, CASP6, and CASP7) cleave other protein substrates inside the cell. Caspase inhibitors control how this cascade reaction gets started. Because they are inflammatory enzymes that cooperate with CASP1 to play a role in T-cell maturation, CASP4 and CASP5, which are overexpressed in some cases of vitiligo and related autoimmune diseases brought on by NALP1 variants, are not currently classified as initiators or effectors in MeSH.
